Planning for the Exit – and Beyond
When you own and actively run a business, life can often feel like you’re standing on a wobbly three-legged stool where the legs represent your business, your personal life, and your financial situation. If any one of those legs is out of alignment, you’ll be flat on your back in no time.
Many Dayton and Ohio business owners have a lopsided stool because they focus too much of their time on their business, neglecting their personal goals and financial needs until the 60- to 80-hour work weeks are behind them.
Barnes Dennig’s Exit Planning service offering helps Dayton and Ohio owners refocus on all three legs of the stool in the short, medium, and long term.
Our Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) team can help you build a more valuable company, have stronger personal financial plans, and align your personal goals. Do you want to leave the business to your children or grandchildren? Do you want to retire early and move to the coast? Do want to take your business only so far before selling it and starting something new?
