Practical guides to plan your business exit on your terms – whether selling, passing to family, or exploring ESOPs. Build clarity and confidence for your next chapter.
What makes a business worth buying? It’s more than profits. It’s people, processes, and purpose. Transferable value means your business can thrive without you, and that’s what buyers pay for.
Most business owners focus on revenue and profit, but true business value goes deeper. The 4Cs—Human, Structural, Customer, and Social Capital—are the hidden drivers that make your company transferable, scalable, and attractive to buyers. In this article, learn what the 4Cs are, why they matter more than EBITDA, and how to strengthen them so your business can thrive without you and support the legacy you’re building.
Exit planning is the proactive process of preparing yourself, your business, and your finances for a future transition. It’s not just about selling, it’s about maximizing value, reducing risks, and protecting your family and employees. Without a plan, most businesses don’t sell or exit well. Starting now ensures you can leave on your terms, with clarity, confidence, and legacy. Remember, your business is a tool, your legacy is the goal.
