Do You Have An Exit Strategy?

Wednesday, September 28th, 2016


ARE YOU ASKING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AS YOU CONTEMPLATE SELLING YOUR ACCOUNTING PRACTICE?

  • Will I find the right buyer for my practice, my staff, and my clients?  
  • Will I get paid? What’s my risk of not getting paid, or not receiving what my practice is worth?
  • How much will it cost me to sell my practice? 
  • When should I sell? 
  • What is my role when engaging a brokerage firm? Will it be complicated or time-consuming? 
  • What is my role in the transition of the practice to the new owner?
  • Can’t I do just as good a job selling it myself?
  • Is my practice well-positioned to sell? If not, what do I need to do to make it attractive to buyers?
