Common questions
Why does Exit Planning for Professional Services need a specialist?
Because in Professional Services, recurring engagements and reduced key-person risk lift the multiple. Generic advice misses the levers that actually move value in your industry.
What is exit planning?
Exit planning is the multi-year process of preparing your business, your finances and your timing so you can leave on your terms and at the value you need — whether that's a sale, succession or wind-down.
When should I start exit planning?
Three to five years before you want to exit is ideal. The earlier you start, the more value gaps you can close before a buyer ever sees the business.
Do I need exit planning if I'm not selling soon?
Yes — the best time to make a business valuable and transferable is long before you need to sell. It also makes the business better to own in the meantime.
