The Brain Trust

The Brain Trust is a ten year old organization of CEOs, company presidents, general managers and business owners who come together to provide insight and solutions to shared business hurdles through monthly half day meetings. The journey of growing and managing a business covers a long, stressful road. There are no new problems in business .... It's your version of the same problem many of us have already faced. The Brain Trust provides an outstanding environment for learning, growing and skill development.

Brain Trust Exit Planning is a division of The Brain Trust. The organization and its partners assist clients in executing a proprietary Exit Planning service called the Business Owner Succession System or BOSS^TM. BOSS Exit Planning is a business planning tool that provides solutions for:

• Building a business you can sell that includes things such as developing a complete management team, integrating processes/systems/metrics into the business, and implementing strategies that enable the company to run itself.
• Building company value
• Developing a team of advisors 
• Management succession
• Estate planning
• Tax planning
• Personal wealth transformation
• The sale or transfer of the business

It is a deliberate, customized process that helps business owners manage the business toward a set of exit goals and decide how best to achieve them. An exit plan can help maximize your financial return this year, every year and especially the year that you sell or transfer your business while minimizing your tax liability.

Imagine that your company has been developed to run like a well oiled machine and is positioned to handle all contingencies. The Business Owner Succession System (BOSS) Exit Plan is a business planning tool that will give you that result. The real benefit to you is peace of mind that you have a plan in place that provides maximum return for you and your family under all circumstances.
