On Metcalf Money Moment, Jeb, Ethan, and Eric sit down with Stephen Hilborn and Timothy Hosie of Planned Exit Partners to explore business exit strategy from every angle. Whether it is a private equity deal, an ESOP, or a management buyout, the guests reveal what truly drives business valuation, how to reduce key-man risk and customer concentration, and why starting exit planning at least 5 years out creates the most options and the most value. What you will learn in this Episode: Why business exit strategy planning should begin well before the five-year mark and how starting early opens up more exit planning pathways. How reducing key man risk and customer concentration directly increases your EBITDA multiple and makes your company more attractive to private equity buyers and strategic acquirers. What tools, like exit readiness assessments, business valuation reports, and discovery checklists, can help owners understand where gaps exist in their business transfer plan so they can close those gaps before going to market? Tune into the Metcalf Money Moment podcast for expert insights on wealth management and retirement planning!
