Exit Planning

David Shavzin, The Value Track, and Bob Tankesley, Neri Capital (ProfitSense with Bill McDermott, Episode 23)

Host Bill McDermott is joined by David Shavzin of The Value Track and Bob Tankesley of Neri Capital. David and Bob advocate that the seller of a business must take the perspective of the prospective buyer. By doing so, a seller will better understand business valuation, planning for a successful exit, and how the sale process will unfold. ProfitSense with Bill McDermott is produced and broadcast by the North Fulton Studio of Business RadioX® in Alpharetta.

Exit Planning
David Shavzin, President, The Value Track
The Value Track helps business owners sell their companies, maximize value, and create an exit on their own terms. Business owners too often get so caught up in the day-to-day that they lose sight of the key to making that future happen – building value – and are unprepared when the time comes to put their transition into action. The Value Track partners with their clients to build transferrable value and sell their companies. Whether a single owner, a family business, or simply multiple partners – whether their exit planning timeline is one year or 10 years – we take our clients through The Value Track’s 7 steps to ensure success.
