Finish Big
How Great Entrepreneurs Exit Their Companies On Top
Portfolio, 2014
What's inside?
A good exit from the company you built depends on planning how you will sell it from the day you open the doors.
Recommendation
Consult Bo Burlingham long before the sale of your company and, ideally, even before you start your business. Building a company always includes leaving it. The process of leaving starts the day you open your doors, and should inform every major decision you make and your strategy along the way. While other authors focus on the deal itself, Burlingham takes you through building a sellable business and preparing yourself for life without it. If the blood, sweat and tears of creating a valuable company – one someone might want to buy – doesn’t scare you away before you begin, then hang on for a ride that often gets even more challenging when the time to sell arrives. getAbstract recommends Burlingham’s advice to entrepreneurs and business owners. Whether you want to pass it along to your partners, board members, investors and employees is, well, your business.
