Start the conversation early
A business transition can affect your income, identity and family. Consider what you want your next chapter to look like before evaluating specific transaction options.
Connect the business and personal plan
Explore how the timing and structure of a transition may influence your personal liquidity, retirement and legacy goals. Do not assume an estimated business value will translate directly into spendable proceeds.
Build a coordinated team
Legal, tax, valuation and financial professionals bring different perspectives. Coordinating their advice may help you understand trade-offs and prepare for decisions before a transaction is underway.
