Chapter 13

Valuing and Exiting Your Venture

Abstract

Perhaps the most ironic part of entrepreneurship is the need to build your venture every day with some idea of how you will exit. The reason this is important is that there are different options for exiting your venture and each option requires that you build your venture in different ways. For example, if you intend to pass your venture on to your heirs, there are things that you should do to prepare them for a smooth succession. On the other hand, if you are planning on exiting your venture via a sale of stock on a public stock exchange you will be focusing on different types of things than if you were handing the keys to your heirs.
