I plan to hold onto this business until my children can take
it over. If they were not to take it over, I would sell it to someone else and
use the money I earn to invest in other businesses or portfolios. Hopefully
this business is enough to provide me with the lifestyle I desire. I think that
I would be content working in this business for my entire career if I could
also responsibly invest and get large returns elsewhere. I have decided to do
this because it provides me with stability and also allows to provide my
children with a job with an income they like. I also would have pride in this
business, so I wouldn’t like to see anyone else take it over. Considering the
fact that I will be holding onto this business for many years and then watching
my children take it over, I am going to find ways to create long term growth.
This may include making large capital expenditures now so that later on, the
company is prepared for growth. This also may include setting lower prices for
market penetration, establishing a large customer base for later on when I can
start setting higher prices. I plan to look at the business as a progression and
may be more forward looking than focused on the present. This exit strategy
means that I need to treat this business as my main priority and that I need to
save my money wisely so that my kids are in a good position.
Hi Riley,
ReplyDeleteI think you have identified an excellent exit strategy and one that will be quite profitable for you and your family. I believe in your business and think that it has what it takes to succeed. It is also a great feeling to know that in starting your business you have laid the groundwork for your future children to succeed.
Hi Riley,
ReplyDeleteWe happened to have 2 different exit strategies. before reading your post i have never thought about passing on my company to my children. this can be enticing as a family run business is something i could potentially view myself engaging in. you must treat your business as a main priority if you plan to grow it. i wish you the best and i hope you do succeed in passing your business of to your children.
