What does Cash's next exit mean in the business world? The most common exit strategies depend on whether you’re an investor, the owner of an established business, or the founder of a startup. For investors, the most common exit strategy is to sell shares of stock once they reach a certain target or profit level. For established business owners, the most common exit strategy is mergers and acquisitions, because doing so is often favorable to shareholders. For founders of startups, a common exit strategy is an initial public offering (IPO). If a business fails, the owner may choose to liquidate all the assets, pay off debts and any shareholders, if possible, and then close down the business. A failing business might also declare bankruptcy, but that’s typically a last resort. So in summary using Cash can get you to the next exit but you need to decide how to succeed from there. #business, #shareholders, #mergers, #cash.
