Guiding Business Owners
For Business Owners
There are many reasons you may have started your business: independence, financial security, or the pursuit of a dream. But owning a business brings its share of complexity as well. Over the years, Summit has worked with hundreds of business owners and we’ve found there is no way to properly plan for someone who owns a business without building a strategy for your business equity as well. Someday, you will leave your business. Have you thought about how you are going to get out? Exit and Succession Planning is a critical piece of any owner’s financial plan. Our team has developed a customized process to help you understand your options and chart a course toward your desired outcome. Whether you plan to sell your firm, transfer it to management, or pass it on to your children, Exit Planning provides a roadmap for one of the most challenging aspects of business ownership.
