It sounds morbid, but is a necessary process if you want to maximise the proceeds from a disposal. There are even grandly named Certified Exit Planning Advisers who can offer technical assistance. But the core issues facing any private company owner are easy to identify, without any expert help.
即便是企业家也终有一死。因此,他们需要认真思考最终是将企业出售、还是寻找接班人。近来,专业人士将这称之为退出计划。这听上去有些恐怖,但如果你希望将处置企业的收益最大化,那么这是一个必要的程序。现在甚至还出现了名头响亮的“认证退出规划顾问”(Certified Exit Planning Advisers),他们可以提供这方面的技术援助。但在没有专家帮助的情况下,也很容易确定私营企业业主所面临的核心问题。
