Focused On Your Next Opportunity
As a successful entrepreneur at the peak of your game, you have one more decision to face. A decision that affects everything—your company, your products, your customers, your employees, your family, your community, your legacy.
How and when do you want to exit your business? Making an informed decision starts by asking the right questions with strong answers.
-
The Future Vision
Targeting your financial goals. Do you know your retirement goals and what it will take—in cash—to reach them?
-
The Size of the Pot
Confirming your company’s current value. Do you know how much your business is worth today, in cash?
-
The Butterfly
Metamorphosing your company to its maximum value. Do you know the best ways to maximize the value of your business interest upon sale or transfer?
-
The Empty Chair
Protecting your company from leadership loss. Do you have a continuity plan for your business if the unexpected happens to you?
-
The Personal Hedge
Eliminating financial vulnerabilities. Do you know how to maximize the income stream generated by your ownership interest in your business?
-
The Intersection
Choosing your inside/outside sale option. Do you know how to transfer your business to family members, co-owners, employees, or a third party, maximizing what you receive and minimizing the tax cost of doing so?
-
The Harvest
Reaping everything your efforts have achieved. It’s not your money! You are just the caretaker of the funds that will eventually go down the government black hole and be lost forever. How does that strike your inner entrepreneur? Unless you plan in advance and apply the methods to keep your money, it’s perfectly true. True for you and your family and any charities you may be inclined to benefit.
