Phased Planning With Elizabeth Mower
Business owners are busy people…- Successful business owners are very productive and sothey’ve got a lot going on in their business and personallives- And as we both know planning for their eventual exit cancontinually be put on the back burner even if they know theyneed to do it- A comprehensive plan for exit can be overwhelming…- And so… it can be tough to maintain momentum in theplanning process…tough for the client which makes it toughfor us as the exit plannersOwners can become fatigued duringthe process even when they know they need to get it done…- Getting both the business owner ready…and their businessready for a successful exit requires work in areas of tax,personal financial estate planning, planning for theunexpected and business continuity and other planningareas- And it requires added commitments of time, finances, andwork- If an engagement begins with a full explanation of all thatneeds to be addressed in a comprehensive plan it can beoverwhelming and result in little to no action by the businessowner- I think you would agree that what we’ve learned through theyears…is that a more productive approach is one thatbreaks down the comprehensive plan in phases and shorterwell-defined time frames- More than a few times we’ve heard, “I had no idea that therewas this much to plan for"- So today we want to discuss a planning approach that willmake it much easier for an owner to stay engaged untileverything that needs to be planned for is accomplished…And we have with us one of our favorite guests ElizabethMower.
