Help employees become healthier, wealthier and wiser.
If you’re like most business owners, the need to eventually transition your business is always on your mind. But where to start? PNC can put you on the road to success by taking you through an efficient and organized discovery and implementation process. We can provide objective advice on your ownership transition options and how to holistically integrate your business and personal dynamics and objectives.
Together, we’ll address questions like these:
There are many alternatives available to you when looking to transition your business. The approach that is appropriate for your business depends on a variety of personal and business objectives.
Competitive dynamics, capital market conditions, the attractiveness and readiness of your business, as well as personal, shareholder and stakeholder objectives will all help determine when you should transition your business.
Numerous factors can impact the valuation of your company, both operational and financial. Avoid valuation traps. Meeting with advisors/professionals early in your planning process can help to identify opportunities to maximize the value of your company.
Potential beneficiaries of the wealth you have built in your business include your family, charities and employees.
Business owners need to determine the pros and cons of available transition options, as well as the financial implications. Communication is key.
