One of the most important transitions any roofer will make during the lifetime of their business is exiting it.
As ironic as that might sound since most of a roofing company owner’s effort focuses on things like effective marketing and good business management, there has to be a plan in place for successfully leaving the business as well.
Whether a roofer builds their company and sells it off to someone else so they can build a new business or simply wishes to retire, a good exit strategy is essential for a smooth transition and a profitable business sale.
What Is A Business Exit Strategy?
An exit strategy is a plan that roofers and business owners of all kinds must develop to sell their companies as turnkey operations in the future.
Whether they desire to move on to building another business or will keep their company until retirement, getting out of an existing roofing business with cash in hand should always be the goal.
Unfortunately, most private businesses are just closed, usually due to a lack of planning for this transition.
This often leaves roofers with nothing to show for all their hard work after years and even decades of building their business up.
An effective exit strategy will make it possible to transition the operational business to a new owner who will pay for it, providing departing owners with the funds they need for retirement or investing in a new company.
When Should Roofers Start Planning Their Exit Strategy?
A fact that many roofing company owners do not realize is that identifying and planning their exit strategy is an essential part of their overall business planning from Day 1.
Roofers must have a picture of what leaving their business will be like in the future, as this is always the endpoint.
From start to finish, business growth can be built through effective management, most of which involves roofing company owners hiring the right staff and then learning to delegate tasks to those employees.
Eventually, owners must reach a point where the business can continue to function profitably without them needing to manage every last detail.
This delegation is a main, crucial step in paving the way to being able to sell the business in an operational state in the future.

In this week’s Roofer Growth Hacks episode, Chris from RoofingSites.com talks with business coach and contractor David Lupberger about why a good exit strategy is so essential for roofing company owners and what goes into developing one.
Create An Exit Strategy By Learning To Delegate
A major challenge that many roofers have is knowing how to step away from the jobsite so they can successfully manage and grow their businesses.
Being the “do it all” person is not only limiting for the company, but it makes creating a feasible exit strategy almost impossible.
On the other hand, roofers who manage their companies well by learning to delegate can build a business empire as big as they wish, then sell it as a functioning company when it is time for them to move on.
