As someone who has founded and led businesses myself, I know that planning your exit is more than a financial transaction.
It is a profound personal journey.
The question is not just “what’s it worth?” but “what’s next for me?”
Founders understand and acknowledge the importance of planning their business exit but fail to take action.
Why is this?
It is often a combination of deep emotional attachment to their business, fear of losing their personal identity and a sense of being overwhelmed by the complexity of the process.
