Question

Do I need an exit plan if I’m not planning to sell my business soon?

Answer

Exit readiness doesn’t require an immediate plan to sell. It means preparing your business and personal finances so a transition, whenever it happens, aligns with your goals. Strategies like establishing qualified small business stock (QSBS) eligibility or gifting equity to a trust often need years to implement effectively. Beginning early, even if you don’t plan to sell for a decade, can help improve both the value you receive and the amount you keep after taxes.
