A comprehensive strategy to get your business up and running should include planning for your own exit. As one of the founders, your departure will have a significant impact on the enterprise itself, your fellow business partners, your customers and your future. So, as counterintuitive as it may seem, how you plan to exit your organization is an important decision to make, even at your business’s onset. Take the time to work with a trusted professional to outline your succession plan so that you are prepared for whatever future you encounter.
