Exit Strategy

When the business owner anticipates the end of his/her participation in the business, ISM Consulting can assist the owner so that benefits are maximized, and the goals of the owner are realized. It is not uncommon for the owner not to have adequately planned for this event.

ISM Consulting provides assistance and support during this critical stage of the business operation. Whether the business is to be sold to an outside entity, or management is to be transferred to one or more family members and/or employees, or if the business is to be liquidated, ISM Consulting has the skills and resources to facilitate this difficult transition.

Based on the exit strategy expressed in the strategic business plan, ISM Consulting assists the owner with business sale planning and execution; development and implementation of employee stock ownership plans; and tax planning.

ISM Consulting uses an extensive network of legal, financial, and human resource professionals to review exit plans to ensure that all facets of this important business phase are properly addressed.
