My Exit Strategy




What is my exit strategy for Drylivery?
Thinking about my exit strategy for Drylivery would be to build the business over a period of time maybe 5 years in specific markets and try to sell it for a larger return. My mindset for doing so would be to give enough time and energy to make the vision come through and ensure systems are in place for its success. After the venture has seen success and growth year over year, then I would sell. Selling the venture would be best because I would be able to focus on the next opportunity that arises for a new venture.

Why is this my exit strategy?
                The venture of delivering dry cleaning to customers and assisting professional dry cleaners in growing their amenities to their clients, the venture has a shelf life on it. With a general decline in dry cleaning services being used, it would only be a matter of time before the opportunity would not be appealing to customers. Also, selling the business at its peak would give me to opportunity to fund my next venture and/or give me more time to develop.

How has this strategy influenced you?
                The decisions I have made for the concept have been in mind with a five year plan. For example, utilizing existing businesses clientele would allow for a quick start up and the targeted demographic that we would need to facilitate the venture. Another key decision was the use of business leasing fees to generate higher cash flow to create a more appealing venture to investors and potential buyers alike. Knowing that I wanted a five year plan, I knew this opportunity could exist for only so long.

  1. Hello,
    Your exit strategy was the same plan I shared for my travel app. It seems like most companies are going to this model these days. Build a great company and eventually have it bought in the matter of 5 years. Good work on this assignment. http://flgatorblogging.blogspot.com

  3. Nicolas, unlike you, I wasn't really thinking about an exit strategy for this whole time. I think that there is too much that could change for me to make up my mind before even starting. I think you share the goal of most business owners, to cash out in five years. Nice job. Here is a link to mine: http://guntotinghippie.blogspot.com/2016/04/my-exit-strategy.html
