Is it possible to transfer my business?

Where can I find information on transferring my business as part of an exit strategy? What websites, forums or blogs discuss business transfer?

When you say transfer, do you mean transfer your business to someone else for free as opposed to selling it outright? Would this transfer be to another family member or someone you have an existing relationship with?

I've included some information from Inc.com below about choosing a successor. If you know who you want to pass the business too, or if you need a quick exit, transferring can probably be beneficial. That said, assuming it is a quality business, I would guess that finding a buyer to purchase it from you would be quite a bit more profitable. Also, keep in mind that you don't have to sell your entire stake in the business in order to make it hands-off. If you still believe in its long term success, why not keep a minority interest in the organization?

If you mean transfer of ownership as an exit strategy, yes, this is considered an exit strategy. It is highly recommended by the U.S. Small Business Administration that you have a well planned exit strategy. These are some exit strategy that you can consider. First is to sell your business to either a public or private property. This can be an effective exit strategy.
Another exit strategy is transfer of ownership. This is a common business exit strategy that is ideal when one business partner wants to leave the company. Moreover, in case of franchise ownership and family-owned businesses.
For those business owners who want to cut all ties of their organization can dissolve the business by liquidating company assets, buying out partners and settling debts incurred by the company with creditors and tax authorities.
