There are several types of business exits, including mergers and acquisitions, management buyouts, initial public offerings (IPOs), and liquidation.Each has it's pros and cons. In a merger or acquisition, one company acquires or combines with another company. In a management buyout, the company's management team purchases the business from its current owners. An IPO is when a privately-owned company sells shares to the public for the first time, allowing it to raise capital and become publicly-traded on a stock exchange. Liquidation involves selling off all assets and closing the business permanently. Each type of exit strategy has its own advantages and disadvantages for both the exiting owner(s) and the acquiring company. Ultimately, determining the best exit option depends on various factors such as the industry, market conditions, and the goals of all involved parties.
