Planning your exit never hurts your business with Bennett Lebowitz

Overview

Why do most business owners never achieve a successful exit, even after decades of effort? Many assume selling a company is simple—find a buyer, sign the papers, and walk away. The reality is harsher: 70 to 80 percent of businesses that go to market never sell. Poor planning, missing documentation, and overdependence on the owner make it nearly impossible to exit with both profit and peace of mind. In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with Bennett Lebowitz, co-founder of Pando Consulting Group, to uncover what it really takes to build a business that can be sold on your terms. Bennett covers everything from financial cleanup to operational systems and leadership transitions. He shares actionable frameworks, key metrics, and real-world stories of owners who created companies strong enough to thrive long after they stepped away.

Could This Exit Have Been Saved? The business as "un"usual livestream series

Together, they’ll explore where outcomes began to diverge, which decisions tended to matter most, and how leaders can better recognize the moments when intervention still makes a difference.
