Exiting your business isn’t as simple as calling a broker and cashing out. In this episode of The Inside BS Show, hosts break down three practical strategies that give small business owners control, leverage, and the ability to walk away on their terms.

Key Topics Discussed

• Option 1: The Business Broker
  When speed matters, a broker can get the deal done quickly—especially if they specialize in your industry. But speed comes with tradeoffs, and you may leave money on the table.
• Option 2: Creating Your Own Market
  Build internal and strategic buyers before you ever think about selling. Whether it’s grooming partners inside your firm or forming alliances with suppliers and customers, this strategy gives you pricing power and multiple exit doors.
• Option 3: Selling to a Competitor
  Competitors will often pay a premium to remove you from the playing field and scoop up market share. Cultivate those relationships early, even while you’re competing head-to-head.
• Bonus Topic: Don’t Leave It to Chance
  If you don’t plan, your “exit” may come in the form of illness or death. That’s why buy-sell agreements and key person insurance are non-negotiable.
