How do you make sure your business exit is a success? 

We discussed this important question and more in this episode of the Virtual US Financial Advisor Podcast with Ray Croff, CEO of Mobius Financial Advisors.

Ray Croff talks about how important your team is when you plan to leave your business. He explains that the people who work for you can really affect how much your business is worth when you sell it. Ray also discusses why having good business processes is key. These processes help your business work better and look more appealing to people who might want to buy it.

Remember, the key to maximizing your business value is to think like a buyer. Looking from the outside and having a bird's eye view of your business is how you are going to get a holistic picture and make the necessary improvements.
