About the Episode

Many entrepreneurs don’t include their exit strategy in their business plan, while others don’t consider changes they need to make to the strategy they already have in place. Planning your exit from your company well before any sale or M&A deal can have huge benefits for you and everybody in your organization down the line. It can even help make the eventual sale of your business go more smoothly. Get the details in our discussion with Mr. Bryan Graiff, member-in-charge of the transaction advisory in the litigation support group at Brown Smith Wallace LLC, in St. Louis.
