An exit strategy transitions the ownership of a company  through sale to another investor. That might be through an acquisition or a merger, a management buyout or a buy in or it maybe that you simply fold the business. The question is what is the best return on investment option for exiting your business?

Feel free to request the templates laura@thehiddenedge.co.uk. I am happy to share.

1. Consider the various exit options open to your business

2. Create a focus team to analyse the SWOT in relation to the barriers to exit

3. Create a strategic exit plan based on the outcomes illustrated in the SWOT

Please do share your experiences with these models in the comments below.  I am building a portfolio of small business case studies and would love to include examples of what has worked well for you.
