The summary of Exit Modelling

Planning an exit strategy for both positive and negative contingencies has become an imperative part of Business Planning. An exit strategy can be defined as a plan executed by an investor, trader, venture capitalist, or business owner so as to liquidate their position in financial assets or to dispose of tangible business assets once predetermined criteria have been met. If in a situation where business operations are no longer sustainable and an external capital infusion is no longer sufficient to maintain operations, then termination of operations and liquidation of all assets is the best option.

The summary of Outcome Modelling

Businesses are dynamic, and sometimes disorderly. Therefore, it is necessary to be prepared for any possible outcome. Implied risk in any business is always present due to the uncertainty of future results. The purpose of financial or project management is to be prepared for every potential outcome resulting from current decisions or investments. As such, risk management in any business scenario or financial expectation should be outcome-focused rather than being process-focused. Outcome Modelling estimation is performed in order to predict results based off of more advanced analysis rather than simple arithmetic.

Purposes of an Exit Strategy:

For exiting an underperforming investment.
For closing a business that is failing to generate profits.
For limiting losses.
For legal reasons such as estate planning, liability lawsuits, or a divorce.
For the simple reason that a business owner/investor is retiring and wants cash out.

Importance of an Exit Strategy

It improves the probability of success.
It significantly increases the ultimate exit valuation.
It is a pre-requisite for a financing strategy.

Selection of an exit strategy can also depend on the business type, size, or the level of liquidity.
