It’s never too early to start thinking about how you’re going to exit your business.

As you discover more about your business’s potential, you may decide to take an alternative route to retirement – fretirement, retiring from your business without selling it. This book helps you to consider all your options.

Dr Terri Bourne, entrepreneurship expert and business owner for over 20 years, shares her experience and insights to assist business owners in successful retirement and exit planning.

Reviews

This book has come at the perfect time for me. I’ve been thinking about how to approach retirement for a couple of years and it’s really helped to focus my thinking. There’s a wealth of practical advice to help me prepare myself and my business for the next phase. It’s also given me options I hadn’t thought of, like ‘fretirement’, which is when your business works for you but you don’t have to do the work. I’d recommend this book even if you’re not ready to retire yet because it helps set up your business and gets you in the right frame of mind for when it is on the cards.
