DEVELOPING AN EXIT STRATEGY FOR REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS AND SMALL BUS

In our previous article we outlined general steps and benefits to implementing a well-tailored succession plan into your business strategy. The next step in business planning is to develop a bullet-proof plan to ensure your business interests are protected. This is often an overlooked step to many business plans much like succession planning.

There is a myriad of reasons that you will need to rely on an exit strategy including:

Mergers

Buy-Outs

Resignation

Financial Conflict

Business Disagreements

Death of Business Partner

Disability

Exit strategies are tailored to each business structure and fact pattern. Compensation structures for buy-outs and stakeholder decisions concerning deaths or resignations are among the factors that should be discussed with a reliable financial business adviser. A sound strategy addresses all the applicable contingency circumstances related to business operations and dynamics. Well-designed exit strategies provide a framework and perspective for the partners of the business by defining clear expectations.
