Episode 11: Selling Inside Your Organization

In this installment of our Exit Planning Webinar Series, we dive into the pros and cons of four options for selling your business to insiders:

1️⃣ Selling to Family – Preserve your legacy, but beware of family dynamics.
2️⃣ Selling to Your Executive Team – Ensure continuity and motivated buyers, but watch for potential financing challenges.
3️⃣ Selling to Business Partners – A familiar option, but often with mismatched ability and drive.
4️⃣ Selling to Employees (ESOPs) – Unlock significant tax benefits with the right guidance.

We explore key considerations for each option, including buyer motivation, financing, and business continuity, while addressing common challenges like leadership gaps and family dynamics. Whether you’re planning your exit now or in the future, this webinar equips you with actionable insights to navigate your journey effectively.
