Before You Say YES!Episode 02
Exit This Way
Creating an exit strategy for investments in emerging and frontier markets
Live format: 40 minutes of teaching, then 15 minutes of questions. You can also work through the case at your own pace.
Read six short lessons, practice with the fictional deal, and build your private brief. Your work stays in this browser.
What you will leave with
- Identify plausible exit routes and funded buyers
- Test rights, records and closing conditions
- Calculate cash available in the spending currency
- Build an affordable fallback and one next evidence request
The six milestones
- 05:00Participants can name their desired outcome, spending currency and cash deadline. Ask for one volunteer to explain the difference between wanting income and wanting to sell ownership.Define the cash outcome you need
- 10:00Participants can identify the seller, the interest being sold and a plausible funded buyer. Model answer: Nia must find a buyer for her shares, or agree a different lawful route with the other relevant parties.Find the buyer for the interest you actually own
- 15:00Participants can name one transfer condition, one supporting record and the independent professional who should check it.Test the rights and records that a buyer will examine
- 21:00Participants can separate cash at closing, deferred payments, holdbacks and earnouts. Model answer: the larger nominal offer cannot be chosen responsibly without reviewing timing, funding, conditions, currency and default consequences.Compare funded cash with conditional promises
- 27:00Participants can reproduce NGN 180,000,000 divided by NGN 2,000 per USD equals USD 90,000, identify omitted costs and residence country tax, and explain why this is not a full return calculation.Calculate what the sale makes available now
- 33:00Participants can distinguish tax liability from withholding, a possible credit from a guaranteed refund, and a permitted transfer from assured timing and currency availability.Check taxes and the path through the banks
- 38:00Participants can name an affordable fallback, its limit and an obligation that may remain after sale. The lesson is complete only when the fallback is tested against personal cash needs and the company's capacity.Build a fallback you can afford
- 40:00Each attendee has one next action with an owner and date, not a readiness score or a promise of a profitable exit.Complete the exit decision map
