Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/01/2016 -- How many business owners truly know the value of their business? How sellable is it in the first place? Do they have an exit plan that maximizes the value they will receive when they sell it? These are extremely important questions that any business owner thinking about selling their business absolutely needs to consider.

Seventy percent of all business owners in today's market plan to sell or pass their business on within 10 years. But 76% of them don't have an exit plan! On top of that, many do not even know the value of their business. A well thought out exit plan can offer the following:

- Protect the legacy of the business
- Build value for the business
- Provide financial security for the owner's family and the company's stakeholders
- Make it easier for all parties to deal with any un-expected events (illness, accident or death)
- Help to prepare the owner and their business for the future

The CBB Group makes it easy to learn the value of one's business and also has an extensive background in helping owners sell their business. It's as easy as picking up the phone and calling them at 503-233-8600 to begin the process.

Once an owner knows the value of their business, they can use it as a gauge how sellable their business is which allows them to focus on where to increase efforts within their business.
