Exiting a business involves more than selecting a date and placing the company on the market. It requires careful preparation—financially, operationally, and emotionally—to ensure a smooth and successful transition. A thoughtfully developed exit plan enables business owners to preserve value, maintain continuity, and part ways on their own terms. But too often, expectations around timing, ease, and outcomes don’t reflect reality.

To properly value a business, one must first look into the past. This means all historical financial statements, such as income statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, and tax returns, should be evaluated to understand what the business has done historically.
