Exit Strategies
Your exit could take several forms, depending on issues like timings and the desired level of continued association after a sale. Exit strategies may include one or more of the following options:
- A trade sale to a strategic buyer
- A merger with a complementary business, followed by a trade sale to a strategic Buyer
- A leveraged management buy-out (MBO) by key management or family members
- A strategic private equity investor or fund, partly cash-out, followed by a full exit
- Taking the company public to the ASX via an Initial Public Offering (IPO)
