As a business owner, you have worked hard to build your business, it is the culmination of a lifetime of work and the time you can finally plan your exit, succession and retirement.

But, letting go of your business and handing over the reins to someone else can often be an emotional time. Planning ahead before you exit your business is crucial. However, you choose to exit your business, you need to understand the challenges it brings, and create a business and culture that ensures everyone is prepared.

Whether you are looking to sell to a third party, undergo a management buy-out or pass the business to family members, you will need to ensure that you, your family and your successors are prepared and the deal works for everyone involved.

Preparing well in advance of an exit enables the best chance of achieving maximum value, as tax efficiently as possible, via a smooth and efficient process.
