You may be at the beginning of your journey to start up a business. Believe it or not, this is the perfect time to think about how that journey is going to end. By considering your exit strategy up front, we can examine what potential acquirers will be looking for and establish best practices to avoid pitfalls along the way. When you’re conducting negotiations and the other party asks, “have you done an FTO?”; “how clean is your cap table?”; or “what’s your patent strategy?”, you’ll have the right answer at the ready.
Of course, not all companies succeed and it’s also helpful to examine what can happen when things go south.
We’ll walk through examples of both scenarios. By seeing how your company might wrap up, you can set yourself up for success from the very beginning.
