Do you have an exit strategy?

Clear Vision • May 6, 2016

Even the most successful business can fall short when it comes to finding an exit strategy for its owners.

Businesses that have been proven money makers over many years, that may have comfortably supported you and your family, can be surprisingly difficult to sell for an amount that will support your retirement plans.

That’s why Clear Vision works with its clients, often many years in advance of retirement, to work out a clear and financially viable exit strategy.

We can help you work out the true current value of your business and provide advice and guidance on what you can do to maximise that value and make it an attractive and viable option for a new owner.

We can also help you identify the right way to transition out of your business.  In many cases a simple sale to an outside party may not be the best option.  Internal or family options, often progressively acquiring their interest, may be far better for you and the new owner.

We can also help you develop your assets and investments outside the business as you work towards your exit strategy.

Talk to Justin Searle for more information if you need help formulating your exit strategy.

12% Superannuation Guarantee - 1 July 2025

By Caroline Gillies • June 22, 2025
From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
