Owner-Managers, want to Exit

without the pain of failed Sale?

New 'Exit Planning Guide'
Micro Course (Video+Workbook+Session)

Here's What You're Getting With This Eye-Opening  Short Course

If you started 2020 with hopes of selling your business, or at least stepping back from full-time management, you could be forgiven for tearing your hair out. But don't despair!

 

The pandemic has certainly brought havoc to the markets, boosting a few sectors but damaging most and destroying some altogether. It's been a terrible year for many Small & Medium-sized businesses and the knock-on effects of massive government borrowing and money-printing have yet to come.

 

But there are various ways of getting yourself out of the management saddle, of extracting some capital from your business and of reducing (partially or fully) your ownership stake.

 

If you did want outright sale, that might be more possible than you think - especially if we can find strategic buyers for your business who wont worry too much about a bad year or two.

 

But have you considered merging your business with one of roughly similar size, and benefitting from the synergies through bigger dividends? That could let you bow out of day-to-day management, if you wanted to.

 

Or what about selling your business (completely free of CGT in the UK) to an Employee Ownership Trust? Or exploring a Management Buyout?

 

There are plenty of options out there, but they need thinking through in relation to your own specific personal and financial needs, and in the light of the state of your business right now.

 

This is where the Exit Planning Guide comes in. Here's what it gives you - and how it can help you NOW:

  • The Exit Planning Guide video briefing by Exit Expert, Dr. David Young

    In this 40 minute video presentation, David Young explains your exit options and why there may well be much better chances of success in achieving an acceptable Exit this year than you might have thought.

     

    You get guidance through the maze of options, based on your personal needs and the state of your business.

     

    First, is time on your side? Or are you facing personal &/or business pressures to disengage from management &/or ownership of your business?

     

    Or would you just like to 'take some money off the table', to reduce your financial dependence on your business in these uncertain times?

     

    Here is a framework for thinking through your best options - and the best timing to pursue them.

  • The Exit Planning Workbook

    The accompanying, downloadable Workbook is designed to help you apply the insights of the course to your own specific situation.

     

    The Workbook walks you through the key questions in the right sequence

     

    It contains the Worksheets I use with my consulting clients to clarify the urgency of their situation and to chart the best course of action in the light of that.

     

    • How to work out whether time is on your side
    • Free Financial Endurance Test (for your business)
    • Charting your preferred vs emergency Exit options
    • Goals for any transaction you might undertake
    • Yield calculator for the proceeds of any Sale
    • How to de-risk any business sale process
    • Next Steps

     

This micro-course is designed to help YOU think through YOUR options, having set them out for you and explained why it would be a mistake to dismiss some of them prematurely. 

 

Because we Entrepreneurs are all now facing unprecedented uncertainty, and because I learned lessons from the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 which I can bring to bear now, I am determined to make available to Owner-Managers the kind of help that is needed, at the lowest possible price.

Dr. David Young
