Are you launching or running a new startup? Plan now to optimize your exit, no matter how far away that might seem

<h3>Hello, Founders Over 55+ . . . and all of you who are becoming entrepreneurs later in life! ~</h3>What's the best time for founders to start planning for their business exit? The answer might surprise you . . . some aspects should begin on Day One. The decisions you make about your business structure, records management, financing, et. al can have implications when the time comes to transition your company. You can avoid many of the obstacles preventing a smooth exit by taking the right steps early in the life cycle of your startup, and making structural changes along the way as your business grows.At our next Founders Over 55+ meeting on October 19th, 4 pm ET, we will: <ul><li>identify the 3 most common types of exits, </li><li>learn what considerations apply to each, </li><li>discuss why and how to prepare to avoid problems later, and </li><li>highlight the preservation of assets and retirement planning issues you should consider leading up to and following an exit.</li></ul>You'll hear examples and guidance that will give you the confidence to take actions now that will improve your business valuations and position you for the best possible outcomes consistent with your personal aspirations and business goals.We're excited to have this session led by experts from the <a href="https://www.bostonexitplanning.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Boston Exit Planning Consortium:</a><ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenneth-fischer-9a5873/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ken Fischer, Principal, KMF Consulting Services</a>.
