Exit Strategy Planning (ESP)

Deciding to sell something that you've poured your heart and soul into over a number of years represents one of the biggest decisions you are going to make in your commercial life.

If you are selling a print business in the current climate then it's likely to be an even more difficult one to make. However, as long as your expectations are reasonable and the process is well thought out and planned then it's still possible to exit your business and contrubute to your retirement fund or make an investment into a alternative career or business.

Please see below our recommendations if you are considering an exit from your print business:

Initial meeting - We would encourage you to contact us and our partners at a very early stage so that we can sit with you and assess your situation and agree an action plan.
Partner reviews - You will need to speak with or meet several of the partners that work with Principle Partners from the team that will be selling your business to tax advisors all of them will play a role if the sale is to meet your criteria for success.
Package the business - Once you have determined to sell then we will help you to package the business ready for sale. The process is then as outlined on our "selling" page
Final negotiations - We will manage the entire sale process from Purchaser Management through to Due Dilgence and all the "legals"

Consider this...

Timing - ideally we would like to have an initial discussion two years in advance of your planned departure date.
Tax - don't under-estimate the importance of getting your own and the businesses finances in order to mitigate your eventual tax position. There have been many disappointed sellers who have fallen foul to the taxman.
Obvious we know but the best time to sell is when your business is on the up and sales and margins are showing good growth. Hestitation can be a killer - take advantage of the good times and sell if you can from a position of strength.
