    Transcript:

    Ross: Before we made our exit, we wanted to build a company that we could be proud of, that could be a legacy company, that could have and be a player in the toy-space. That was our first priority. Out exit strategy was to either go public, or sell the company to a larger player in the industry that could capitalize it even more, and that's what we did. It's an expensive business model when you're talking about a business like the toy business. Sometimes, you put in 50 - $100,000 into a product and it doesn't sell. So, we knew that going in, we knew the model was tough, but we wanted to build a company that we could be proud of. Then, as some point we knew we have to find a strategic partner to come in and really capitalize it the way it needs to be capitalized.

  • Leo Klijn - In Any Event Start Exit Planning Early (F1317)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    In this 1 minute highlight, Leo Klijn, Exit Strategy Planning, Henberger, discusses the need to start planning for your Exit early no matter how you think your business will transition.

    Transcript

    Bill: In all the interviews we’ve done with professional advisors, we keep hearing it’s too plan early for your exit, but what about when you’re expecting for a private equity firm to come in and buy out part of your company? 

    We asked exit planning expert Leo Klijn for his advice on when to plan.

    Leo: First question venture capitalist firms or private equity firms will ask you is, what’s the exit strategy? So, I would argue that every business should have a business plan, and the most important chapter in a business plan is the exit plan, so it’s never too early to have an exit plan. If you haven’t done one, at a minimum, I would argue 3-5 years before you get out. Because the single biggest value driver is the strength of your management team, and what I find in our space is that most of the time the owners play a good role in running the business, if that’s the case replacing that often takes time.”
