Exiting:
- Before entering a business an owner needs to consider their exit strategy because at some stage an owner and the business will part company.
- Too often the separation becomes messy as no clear succession planning has taken place. The business has to be considered to be an entity in itself, something that need to be able to survive after the current owner has moved on.

- Structures, systems and processes need to be in place for a successful transition and the maximization of the value of the sales of the asset.
