What Every Business Owner Should Know About Exit Planning
Most business owners pour years — sometimes decades — into building something they're proud of. But when it comes time to move on, many aren't prepared. Research shows that many business owners lack an exit plan, which puts them at risk of failing to meet their retirement goals or settling for less than their business is worth.
Exit planning is about finding an elegant and flexible solution — one that lets you leave what you've built in capable hands while still receiving full fair market value and significant tax savings. It's not just about selling; it's about protecting your legacy, your employees, and your financial future.
Roy Messing, Executive Director of the Michigan Center for Employee Ownership, has helped educate owners and their advisors on transition options — including employee ownership models that can keep businesses local, preserve jobs, and help owners achieve their retirement goals.
In this free webinar, Roy covers the essentials: what exit planning entails, when to start, and how to ensure you're not leaving money — or your life's work — on the table.
