Ellen McIlhenny - "Smart and Savvy Business Exit"

Introduction

Today is the first episode of Smart and Savvy business Exit. For years I have lived and breathed the topics we will be discussing, starting with my years as a CFO with a company who grew through acquisition and now as a fractional CFO helping small business owners increase their value to prepare for a sale.

Today we are going to start with an overview of the Smart and Savvy exit plan. So you may be asking….what is an exit plan and how do I get me one of those.

If you’re just starting a company — or your business is in the early stages — it’s likely you haven’t yet thought of an exit strategy. After all, why think about the end of the journey when you are just getting started?

But I think everyone has heard the famous saying by Stephen Covey  “Begin with the end in mind”

Well we are going to talk today about why that is so important and what you need to be doing to prepare.
