Most privately-held businesses create jobs for the owners and employees but close down after the owners retire. A smaller number of companies defy this pattern. They not only generate a living for themselves and their employees, they also create transferable, realizable exit value. The Exit Planning Exchange was founded in the belief that more companies could become long-lived assets with the right help to create lasting value for the owners, employees and stakeholders in their communities. Advisors can help their clients understand and navigate the road to long-term value.
