Understanding Your Business Structure Key to the Decision

When considering an exit, women founders must first understand the structure and nature of their business. Asset sales involve selling the company's assets, like equipment, inventory, and customer lists, usually leading to an end of the existing entity. Share sales involve selling your stake in the business, transferring ownership of the corporate entity. Assessing whether your company operates in a way that's more conducive to one method over the other is vital. For instance, service-based businesses with few physical assets might find share sales more straightforward.
