Ep 209: Creating an Exit Strategy (Preparing Your Business For Sale)

Meet Erin Austin. Harvard Law School graduate. Business consultant. Former in house & outside counsel as well as corporate executive.

Founder of Think Beyond IP, where she helps female founders of expertise-based services create & protect saleable assets to create generational wealth.

This episode is absolutely jam-packed with value for EVERY female founder & small business owner.

Inside, Erin breaks down what it takes to prepare your business ultimately for sale:

• Why it's important to think about an exit before you’re ready to exit 
• Why you want to think in terms of what it would look like to sell your business - even if you have no intention of doing so
• The difference between sellable and saleable (such an important distinction)
• Be the chef, not the cook (you gotta listen to understand the import of this analogy...it's a GOOD one!)

When two lawyers get together, Erin & I couldn't resist also talking  about contract, intellectual property & licensing issues as well.
