Divestopedia Explains Exit Planning
When leaving a company, exit planning allows for peace of mind that everything is already taken care of. Poor exit planning can affect the success of the firm and the individual, both during and post-exit.If an exit plan is well thought out and implemented, then it will enable the exiting party to:
- Reduce or delay the total taxes payable;
- Maximize the valuation and cash proceeds received at closing;
- Allow for smooth operational and management transitions; and
- Control the timing and terms of their exit.
