Ep #008: Building Your Business Exit Team
When it comes to implementing a business exit strategy, one of the most important things to do is to assemble a team to help you through the process. Some team members you will be working with before, during and after the process—and then some team members will come in strategically for one assignment only. So, who should you have on your team? And how do you decide who should fill these roles? These are just a couple of the questions that Tom will answer in this episode.
Listen in as Tom shares the importance of having a forward-looking CPA and how a business attorney can help you simplify all the paperwork associated with exiting your business. You will learn how to find the right CFP for you, what a CEPA is and why you need to have one for your exit.
