Value Creation
Did you know only about 20% of all privately held companies put on the market each year successfully sell? Only about 30% of all family businesses in the U.S. successfully transition from their first to second generation, and an astounding 75% of all business owners who do sell their companies profoundly regret the decision one year after selling. This regret is commonly because the former owners have not received the true value of the sweat equity they invested in their businesses and tend to experience significant wealth gaps post-exit.
Far too many business exits end up failing because of a lack of planning. Business owners need to have a plan in place for how they will walk away from their businesses. A properly planned and executed exit can handsomely reward a business owner for the time, effort, and energy that they invested in building their business. It also benefits the many employees who work in the business and the customers they serve.
