I want to exit my business, what are my options?
When the business is sold in full to a strategic or financial acquirer, typically to close competitors or allied verticals both locally or internationally. This often requires an earn-out period where the owner is required to stay on and work with the business for an agreed period of time to ensure stability during the transition.
A partial exit is generally used to access private equity where the owner wants to stay on and grow the business beyond their own organic capacity. An investor or acquirer typically purchases a 51% controlling majority and the founder stays on as CEO to expand the business.
An IPO generally needs sufficient scale, longevity and a strong growth story to successfully transition to the public sphere.
