When should you start planning your business exit? 🤔

Ideally, several years before you intend to leave. ⏰

Starting early could give you more time to strengthen the business, prepare your records, reduce its dependence on you, and think carefully about who might eventually buy it.

It could also help you understand what the sale may mean for your personal finances and whether the proceeds are likely to support the lifestyle you want afterwards.

For many business owners, the emotional side of leaving can be just as significant as the financial one. 💼

Research from Capital on Tap found that 29% of business owners see emotional attachment to their company as the biggest barrier to planning an exit.

After years of building a business, stepping away can mean losing a familiar routine, relationships, and a sense of purpose.

Planning ahead could give you time to think about what you want the next chapter to look like and whether a gradual exit might suit you better.
