Selling & Exiting Your Business - where to start, what to know.


Art of the Exit: Business Exit Breakfast – Taunton

Coutts has a long tradition of supporting entrepreneurs after the sale of their businesses — helping them protect, grow and enjoy their wealth post-exit. Increasingly, we are also helping business owners before they exit, providing guidance, insight and access to trusted experts so they can make better decisions earlier in the journey.

As part of this commitment, Coutts is delighted to invite you to the Art of the Exit Business Breakfast at Taunton Racecourse on Thursday 14th May.

This exclusive breakfast event is designed for business owners who may be considering an exit at some point in the future and want a clearer understanding of what to think about well in advance.

What to expect

From 8.30am, enjoy breakfast and the opportunity to network. From 9.00am, hear from a panel of industry experts as they explore the key elements of a successful business exit, including:

  • Preparing your business for sale – how to position your business to maximise value
  • Ways to exit – understanding the different exit routes available and which may suit you best
  • Tax and legal considerations – what to plan for early and common pitfalls to avoid
  • Life after exit – personal, financial and lifestyle considerations once the deal is done

The session will include practical insights, real-world examples and the chance to ask questions in a relaxed, informal setting.

Expert panel

This event is hosted by Coutts, alongside panel partners Milsted Langdon and Freeths, bringing together expertise across wealth management, tax, and legal advisory to provide a joined-up view of the exit process.

Is this event for you?

If you are:

  • Thinking about exiting your business at some point, whether near-term or longer-term
  • Unsure how to prepare, what to prioritise, or when to start planning
  • Keen to start to understand tax, legal and personal considerations beyond the transaction itself

…then this is a great opportunity to gain valuable insight and clarity.

How to secure your place
