The Smart Business Exit Paperback – November 10, 2014

Having looked at around 20 books on the subject of exit planning, this is the absolute gold standard. There are very few business books that you can attribute the label "can't put down," but this is one of them. It is best read cover to cover in a few sittings, right before your business exit journey is about to begin, as it will help you assess your current reality and paint pictures of realistic goals and the strategies to deploy to get there.Geoff has a way with words and stories and created an excellent canvas of possibilities.

Too many entrepreneurs ignore the inevitable reality that they will one day need to sell, transfer or liquidate their businesses. Geoff Green has written my new favorite business book to help owners prepare for their own exits. Engaging and smartly written, Geoff provides a great framework with strategies that can be deployed in any business. Complete with entertaining stories and expert insight, I had a hard time putting it down. I'll be recommending this often to new clients.

This is a well written book that everyone who starts a business should read. Logical development with good stories to illustrate main points.

Geoff Greens book has kind of hit a raw nerve for many business owners, because experience have shown that few owners of businesses are ready, when it comes to the end game. If you as a business owner dare to look into the crystal ball to get a picture of what is going to happen the next 10 years, you will probably get a nasty surprise as there will be thousand of business owners trying to exit and sell their businesses for the best price. So how are you going to stand out in that scenario and maximise the value of your business? How do you prepare for your 'best' end game?The answer is quite simple - buy this book NOW and use Geoff's great insights to prepare well for your own exit.Per Lillie | Business Growth Coach | Author | GrowthWheel® Certified Business Advisor

You have in your hands a map to the holy grail of business; the high value exit. Think for a moment what this means - a repeatable process for maximising the value of any business and getting a life changing amount of money! Geoff Green has been incredibly generous in producing a book packed with experiential wisdom few people would openly share. Geoff’s a master of getting the best value upon exit. He built and sold his own business for millions, helped others to do the same, and many business owners are willing to pay him a small fortune to advise them on their business exit strategies. Needless to say, the information in this book is highly valuable. I suggest you pretend you paid $10,000 for it rather than a tenner!Daniel Priestley, Entrepreneur, Co Founder of Entrevo Growth Accelerator and Author of Entrepreneur Revolution and Oversubscribed

I have been a corporate lawyer for almost 25 years and for many of those years I ran a law firm that focussed on mergers & acquisitions. All too often I saw clients that were ill prepared for the sale of their business particularly the inevitable legal and financial due diligence process. I only wish that each of them had read Geoff’s book long before they ever thought of selling their business. It is obvious to me that Geoff’s insights are unique. They come from many years of not only practising law but also from being an entrepreneur himself. He gets it! His book provides a business owner with everything they need to know about how to sell their business for a premium and avoid many of the common pitfalls that can either devalue their business or even derail the sale. I highly recommend Geoff’s book!

Most entrepreneurs and businesses talk about the beginning... the famously famous startup; supposedly where the fame, lights and glory are. However, the seasoned business knows that this is not the full case. Getting a business to go is one thing; getting it ready for your future, and someone else, is a completely different journey. Geoff has one of the best approaches of dealing with the "after" - where most of the money is made. A brilliant book all around.

Geoff Green has got the Smart Exit nailed in this book. I've bought & sold businesses for my clients & there's no doubt many SME owners are badly under-prepared & so fail to get the best price. This book provides an excellent road map for owners to follow & will definitely help them maximise the return on all the effort they have invested in their business.

A very informative, inspiring and practical guide for all business owners whether they are ready to sell or not! Full of interesting case studies and facts that business owners can relate to. A must read!
