Exit Strategies…What’s YOURS???

You probably did not start your business with an eye on an eventual exit. Few passionate entrepreneurs do that. And, it may be time to start doing some serious Strategic Thinking about ‘what’s next’.

Will your kids take over…sell to your management team…find an outside financial or strategic buyer? There are lots of options available and you want to start thinking about them well in advance of taking any action.

In this Fireside Chat with Greg Hogan, an expert on helping entrepreneurs plan exit strategies, Ben explores some of the options available to you.
