As odd as this may sound, you should begin your exit plan when you start your agency. The first part of the exit planning process involves growing a profitable business that would be attractive to potential buyers or new owners. Growing a profitable agency from day one means you are always in a position to exit your business. Likewise, developing business habits that make your business due diligence proof and protect your valuable business relationships contribute to having a healthy agency.
