Two Reasons To Stay In Your Business

As a business owner, if your business exit does not give you and your family financial security (as you define it), and you do not have the ability to meet all of your other exit objectives, your exit is a train wreck.

1. Risk and Return


With today’s stock market and the U.S. bond rates, the income business owners receive from their businesses is much greater.

2. But What’s Next?


Business owners find more meaning in working in the business than anything they could do outside of the business, or they haven’t thought about what they will do next.
