You may not be ready to sell or transition your business today; most people aren’t. However, there may come a day when you’ll want to explore your options. When the day comes, you might be ready, but will your business be ready?

Exiting your business is a major life event. After all, you probably plan well in advance for many of the important events in your life, and few are more important than the eventual transition of your life’s work.

The vast majority will not sell because of misguided assumptions about exit planning and selling their businesses. Many business owners do not have an exit plan, are not aware of exit strategies, and, most importantly, have not started the process even though it usually takes years to plan successfully.

I recently attended SCOPE’s event in Houston and have had numerous conversations with their staff. I am convinced the business owner’s best interest is at the forefront of everything the organization does. Matt Gilbert - Gilbert & Pardue, LLC. 

Regardless of where an owner may be in their exit planning process, I highly recommend SCOPE™ to help accelerate their path to a successful sale. Sean Dowling – IBA
