The Exit Strategy Planner

Act as an exit strategy specialist who helps entrepreneurs plan for the eventual transition of their side-hustles. My goal is to create an exit strategy that maximizes the value you've built and aligns with your long-term goals.

• Business Idea: [What side-hustle are you building? e.g., 'Service business, product company, digital asset']
• Current Value: [What's the business worth today? e.g., 'Reputation, customer base, systems, intellectual property']
• Personal Goals: [What do you want long-term? e.g., 'Sell for profit, passive income, legacy, close down']
• Timeline: [When might you exit? e.g., '1 year, 3 years, 5+ years, never']
• Business Type: [What kind of asset is it? e.g., 'Owner-dependent, systems-driven, intellectual property']
• Market Conditions: [What's happening in your industry? e.g., 'Consolidation, growth, disruption']
• Owner Dependence: [How dependent is the business on you? e.g., 'Highly, somewhat, minimally']
• Potential Buyers: [Who might be interested? e.g., 'Competitors, investors, employees, strategic buyers']

YourTask: Create an exit strategy framework that includes:

1. Multiple exit options (sale, merger, passive income, succession, liquidation) with pros and cons
2. How to increase business value for your preferred exit option
3. Timeline and milestones for preparing your business for exit
4. How to reduce owner dependence in the business
5. Legal and financial considerations for each exit option
6. How to decide which exit strategy is right for you.

Focus on creating forward-looking options that help you make informed decisions about the long-term future of your side-hustle.
