I advise owners of family-owned and privately-held businesses to develop strategies to benefit them and unlock the value of the company they have created. It's about creating their plan for their eventual exit or transition from their business, regardless of timing or circumstances. Exit planning is not about selling the business; it's about having a WRITTEN PROCESS for reaching your personal and financial goals, and protecting your wealth. An owner cannot start too soon - but can start too late - to plan for their exit from the day to day management of their business. Much of the strategies and tools for exit planning are also used in Growth Planning-the process of INCREASING the of the business TODAY, not just in the future.I understand the challenge owners have of making time to plan; having started two businesses and then walking away from them - WITHOUT receiving the value I helped create - you do not want that to happen to you. I bring experience, not just theory, to my client relationships. My affiliation with LFA (and BII - Business Intelligence Institute*) provides me with the resources and talent of a Fortune 200 company to help clients in the best ways possible, so they know the ideas & strategies are not limited to just one person. I have the passion needed to help clients bring their plan together. Remember: if you thought getting INTO business was hard, wait until you try getting out!Phone: 804-726-6011* BII is a Lincoln Financial Advisors initiative focusing on business succession strategies.
