Exit Strategy – are you ready to go?
Aileen Major

It can take up to five years to get a business into shape for exit, according to Coutts, the private bank. A staggeringly low 7% of businesses offered for sale attract a buyer, primarily due to not being marketed actively or professionally.

Business owners should consider their preferred exit strategy at the early stages and should build an exit path into their business plan.

Your individual plans for succession should shape the steps to take, years before any transaction is made. Whether you sell to a third party, or gift or transfer to a family member or employees, it’s never too early to plan for your departure.

Take six steps to prepare your business for your exit. Find out more by clicking the link below.

Do you want to give your staff a tax free incentive?
Julie Collarbone

We are often asked if there is any way of paying staff an additional bonus without it incurring the usual tax and NI payments. By the time the employee has the deductions taken off, the gesture can often seem rather under-whelming.

We have identified some of the tried and tested schemes which can be easily implemented. Check out our list to see if you are making the most of the tax-free incentives which are currently available.

Business Coaching

timmajorsmallTim’s Top Tip:
Stop using your diary for just appointments! Use it to…..

  • Plan how you will spend your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly time working ON your business.
  • Set “SMART” (Specific, Measurable, Achievable,Realistic, Timely) business goals in your diary.
  • Do not confuse tasks with goals.  Put them in your diary and remember - tasks are just steps towards your goals.
  • Balance your life by planning your private goals, time off, significant dates, and life tasks in the same diary.
  • Use an electronic diary. (Googlemail is brilliant) It is then easy to default the routine items.
