What are some good strategic ways i can come up with exit strategies for my angel investors. The industry is advertising and the business is car wraps. The future of advertising. (Mobile Billboards.)
There are only a few possible exit strategies.
One, you sell the company. This gives you cash (or stock) that you give to you investors based on what they invested in the company.
Two, you go public. This is a very unlikely scenario for you, especially if you are dealing with Angel Investors only, and being a small company. Of course, there are other ways like Pink sheets and public shells, but you still have to be a little further along in your companies life-cycle.
Three, you can buy back their shares. Though, you will have to make them a nice offer, especially if your company is doing well. They aren't going to want the exact amount they put in. They are going to want a lot more.....if they even go for it.
Four, you can NOT exit, but pay them a dividend or a percentage of the profits.
