Part of a company’s long-term business model is an assessment of how to capitalize on its overall value. While some business owners may prefer to continue running their business indefinitely, others may view a future sale of the business as an excellent way to extract the full financial value from their efforts. In either case, there are a number of considerations that must be made in order to help ensure that the business owner’s long-term goals are realized. Securing reputable business valuations, structuring shareholder agreements, and insuring business owners are critical steps in ensuring the realization of your company’s true value.
