Most agency owners dream of either selling their company or passing it onto the next generation. Whatever the plan, the goal is a successful transition for all involved. As with any long-term strategic planning, you'll need to establish business and personal goals as part of the process.
There are five ways you can leave an agency:
-
Sell to a third party.
-
Sell to a family member or co-owner.
-
Sell to key employees.
-
Die owning the agency.
-
Liquidate the agency.
Fortunately, you can plan for each of these eventualities well in advance.
