Business Exit Planning
Plan Your Exit Like You Run Your Business — Strategically
You don’t wait until the day you retire to start saving. The same logic applies to selling your business. Our exit planning services help you design a roadmap to an eventual sale — increasing your company’s value, minimizing risk, and aligning the timing with your personal and financial goals.
The 2025 Q1 Market-Pulse report (a report published quarterly by the IBBA after surveying their members), uncovered a shocking statistic:
-
Most advisors (more than 8 in 10) reported that fewer than 5% of their clients had a written exit plan strategy in place before their initial meeting.
This shows that the majority of business owners approaching the sell of their business are attempting one of the most significant financial events of their lives unprepared.
A core mission at Green Field Capital Advisors is to help business owners sale their business from a position of strategic advantage. A detailed exit plan (with strong execution) is the key for business owners to to achieve this strengthened position when selling their business.
