Having a clear exit strategy ensures that your business, your staff, your clients, and your suppliers continue to thrive after you no longer steer the ship.

Many SME language service companies are owner-managed businesses where the director plays a central role in operations, client relationships, and strategy. Whether your motivation is retirement, a lifestyle change, or new opportunities, having a clear exit strategy helps you to secure a financial return for your hard work in building the business, safeguard your legacy, and protect your teams and clients.

A successful director’s exit requires careful planning and preparation, not just for what you want to get out of the exit, but for what your business needs to stand on its own two feet. Getting yourself and your business in shape for a successful exit can be a hard process, but for interested buyers or successors, a well-structured business is a more attractive acquisition opportunity.

This ATC SME Director’s Exit Guide has been developed to support you as you explore your exit options – available to ATC members only.
