One of the least talked-about — yet most critical — aspects of entrepreneurship is the exit. Whether you want to sell, pass the business on, or step away from day-to-day operations, this session prepares business owners for the next chapter.
We explore the four main types of exit strategies:
- Selling to a third party (private equity, strategic buyer).
- Internal sale (management or employee buyout).
- Family succession.
- Passive ownership (keeping equity but hiring leadership).
Topics covered:
- Valuation basics: how to know what your business is worth.
- Preparing the company for sale: financials, systems, and documentation.
- Legal, tax, and emotional considerations.
- Finding buyers, negotiating terms, and due diligence.
Speakers include founders who successfully exited — and those who didn’t — sharing lessons about timing, regret, and legacy.
A self-assessment exercise helps participants clarify their exit timeline, personal goals, and readiness level.
Participants leave with a Business Exit Checklist, and a better understanding of how to build their company as if they’ll own it forever, but could sell it tomorrow.
This session is perfect for mature businesses, lifestyle entrepreneurs, and mission-driven founders who want clarity and control over how the story ends — and what happens next.
