The Pinnacle of Success is a Good Exit Strategy | QRE215

The Pinnacle of Success is a Good Exit Strategy | QRE215

In the US over 90% of the businesses are small businesses. Which means we are the ones who employ the people of this country and with that comes a level of responsibility.

But what happens to it all if something happens to us?

What if we woke up tomorrow and couldn’t keep doing what we are now? 

What kind of legal things should we be considering and who should be in place to make it all come together?

This is where an exit strategy comes into play. Sounds counterintuitive to building a business…aren’t we trying to be here for the long haul? Well, then why on earth would we need to think of getting out?

The truth is we will all leave our businesses at some point; some earlier than thought and others unexpectedly. For this reason having a plan in place that will step in automatically and smoothly run the business succession when we can no longer be at the helm is necessary.

Enter my guest and specialist Janise Graham to walk you through all the steps for setting up your exit strategy on your terms long before it is ever even needed.

Don’t be caught off guard and leave your employees or family in a lurch. Join us for today’s episode and let’s get started on creating your exit strategy.

Start with the end in mind…
