Formulating your exit and succession plan is essential, whether you’re ready now or not for a while. There are three main ways to exit that our panelists will explore: selling to corporate, private equity, or a competitor, or through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which provides tax advantages, the ability to maximize proceeds, and protects the company’s brand while retaining top talent. Panelists will share their years of on-the-ground experience from the business ownership, legal, accounting, and banking perspectives.
