Exit and succession services

Over 90,000 baby boomer-led business will be changing ownership by 2015. Many are preparing to sell to 3rd parties, others to transition through generational continuity or sale to employees. For most business owners, this is an emotional step, difficult to initiate and rarely starts early enough.

Here are some steps that are essential to your success:

A clear strategy to maximize returns and business value. Scion has a great approach that jumpstarts the process, enables you to evaluate viable exit scenarios and develops a manageable roadmap for achieving business and ownership goals.

Managing a thoughtful succession process. In the case of private and family businesses, the focus is on developing strong future business leadership and talent; transitioning family members, business owners and the business team to an envisioned, prosperous future. We manage your process, assemble a strong team and work alongside you to clarify decisions, options and strategies.

Pre transaction ‘working on the business’. Successful transitions shifts shareholder strategies from 'passive’ to 'active' value management; support owners' goals and timeline; are planned well in advance; and are designed to prepare the business from a buyer's standpoint.

Scion's pre-transaction services allow clients to consider realistic exit options, more successfully enter a sale process and realize stronger returns from their hard work.
