You can’t predict the future, but you can prepare for it.
When you’re running your business, it’s easy to get caught up in the present. You’re constantly solving problems in your path and improving your business. However, you won’t be working your business forever.
No matter how you decide to stop, whether it is selling your business or eventually retiring, there will always be a day when you’re no longer the top dog at your company.
When that day comes, all that matters is that you’re ready to make a graceful exit and be compensated for what you deserve.
Having an up-to-date evaluation for your company is the most crucial step to being ready for your exit.
Getting an evaluation might seem premature if you’re nowhere near ready for an exit, but don’t be too shortsighted. You never really know when the perfect opportunity might arise for you to sell your business.
By having an evaluation ready to go, you’ll always know your business's true worth. You will have a firm grip on your company’s current standing, and you can set realistic benchmarks for yourself if you wish to continue growing your business or just hit an exit number that you feel comfortable with.
Consistent evaluations are also valuable if you decide to sell your company. By having frequent evaluations, you can show off your company's growth over time, backed by a viable third party. You can use these evaluations to have credible evidence on the trajectory of your company, which can, in turn, increase your overall sale value as the new owner can bank on your company’s potential.
