What is your exit strategy?

A RECENT RMIT STUDY revealed that of the 880,000 small businesses in Australia (worth in excess of $3.5 trillion), 44 per cent would be sold over the next ten years representing some $1.6 trillion in value. Assuming these sellers can find a buyer, the
expected average sale price of these businesses will be less than
five times earnings.
