Getting to Exit

You have built a successful business. You have sacrificed weekends, missed family moments, and put everything into making it work. Yet, you have avoided planning for the fact that "we will all exit our business one day, one way or another." Do you have a plan? Have you asked yourself why, when, and how you will exit? Without a plan, an exit will likely be suboptimal, likely even under duress. However, determining your exit objectives and building a plan on that foundation has a much higher probability of an optimal exit and leaving your business on your terms.

David Reid knows this struggle intimately. As a CEO and founder, he spent 20 years growing his business to over 100 employees and selling the business for a premium valuation, concluding in an optimal exit. All of this was accomplished before he reached 50 years old. Ten years into the business, David came to understand that he would one day exit the business, and to do that optimally, he would need a plan. David distilled everything he learned about selling and exiting a business to build a 10-year plan to get there. That process became the foundation for a proven 9-step framework that takes the guesswork out of exit planning.

Getting to Exit is not another book about maximizing your sale price. It's about curating an exit that delivers the money you need, the timing you want, and the life you've been putting off. Through honest storytelling, practical tools, and a step-by-step process, David shows you how to plan for an optimal exit-one you won't regret-one you have earned.

In this book, you'll discover:
