Ownership Transition & Exit Strategies

One of the most significant changes to a business and its stakeholders can be the transfer of ownership. Baker Tilly can help you prepare for transition now, for tomorrow.

All privately held businesses must transition ownership and leadership positions at some point. And, business owners should have a transition plan in place whether they plan to retire, transact or an unexpected circumstance arises. Baker Tilly helps our clients navigate and plan for the impact of a sale or ownership transition.

    "We know that our clients put their heart and soul into establishing a successful business enterprise. So, we take the time to understand their business, financial and personal goals with their legacy in mind. We use our understanding to guide them through the financial and emotional transition of exiting their business with transparency and respect.”
