For private company owners, managing a successful exit from their company is perhaps the single most important event in the historical growth and maturity of the company. Exit Strategy Development is the process of preparing for the future ownership transfer of your company to others. A well thought out exit plan, with written goals, values, and objectives is indispensable to the transfer of the company and achievement of the shareholder's long-term goals.

We will neutrally assess each probable exit strategy and recommend the most realistic exit plan with focused regard to the company's current circumstances, the specific requirements of the shareholders, and the interests of management and employees.

Shown below, are the most common exit strategies for private company owners to consider along with brief advantages and disadvantages of each.

Type of Sale:

Strategic Company
A purchase by strategic partner or competitor. Management contract is usually negotiated. Separate corporate cultures must be successfully integrated; potential management changes; corporate identity may disappear.

An Unrelated or Complimentary Company Normally sell 100% of company. Post transaction involvement is minimized; must find willing and qualified buyer; normally results in new management.

Merger
May receive stock and some cash. Corporate resources are combined; current management may stay; New investment partners or management, less control, may receive little or no cash.

Management Buy-out
Normally sell 100% of interest in company. Other owners/management remain in control of the company; corporate identity and employee base remains primarily intact. Seller must be willing; buyers must have sufficient cash to complete transaction.

Family Succession
Continuity of ownership. Additional estate planning options. The desire or capability of family members to run and expand the company
