When should you start thinking about a Business Exit Strategy?
 
This will depend on your business plan, company goals, or events that occur. Some companies are started with the sole purpose of being sold off when it reaches a level of success that maximizes profits. Business Exit Strategies involve accounting, tax and legal issues that must be addressed. Sumner CPA will help you prepare an exit strategy that will best fit your specific needs.
 
Properly prepared, an exit strategy smoothes out the process, covering all tax and legal issues. If you've never given any serious thought to exiting your business, now is the time. For sole proprietors, getting out of business can be nearly as easy as quitting a job. For most businesses, exiting is a multi-step process.
