Build a Business Designed for Exit
Exit planning is good business strategy
The Value Acceleration Methodology™ was created by Exit Planning Institute CEO Christopher Snider to integrate a business owner’s business, personal, and financial goals into one strategy.
Exit planning is about helping companies move from successful to significant. A significant company at any given time is:
- attractive
- valuable
- transferrable
- ready to sell

What is exit planning?
- Exit planning is an intentional process to holistically balance:
- Personal - What does life look like now and after an exit?
- Financial - Have you planned properly for wealth goals?
- Business - Have you created enterprise value worth acquiring?
- An exit plan asks and answers all the business, personal, financial, legal and tax questions involved in transitioning a privately owned business.
- It includes contingencies for illness, burnout, divorce, and death.
- Its purpose is to maximize the value of the business at the time of exit, minimize taxes, and ensure the owner is able to accomplish all his or her personal and financial goals in the process.
