Design Your Exit

  • Columbia Tower Club 701 5th Ave 75th floor Seattle United States (map)

Exiting your business is a complex and crucial decision that demands thorough planning and strategy. Whether you’re looking to retire, start a new project, or ensure your legacy, how and when you exit can significantly impact your personal and financial future. The “Design Your Exit” workshop, facilitated by Byron McFarland, offers a comprehensive approach to exit planning, tailored to help business owners define, execute, and maximize their exit strategies effectively.

Key Workshop Topics:

• Assessing Your Exit Goals: Define what you aim to achieve personally and financially.
• Understanding Exit Paths: Explore various exit options and choose the one that fits best with your ambitions.
• Strategic Planning: Develop a step-by-step strategy tailored to ensure a smooth transition.
• Risk Management: Identify potential risks and learn how to mitigate them effectively.
• Legacy and Continuity: Consider the implications of your exit on your business’s continuity and your personal legacy.

Why You Should Attend:
Every entrepreneur should come to this event, whether you’re actively planning to exit or sell your company, or if that’s only a distant goal. Being exposed to this thinking earlier in your business journey can have a transformative impact. And for those planning to exit in the coming years, this workshop is a must-attend.

Byron McFarland has been repeatedly referenced in our EO Seattle Slack channel by members seeking advice on exit strategies and Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP).
