Ready to exit your print shop the right way?

Exiting your business is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, especially if you’ve been with your print shop since the start.

Whether you’re planning to sell, pass it on, or pivot to a new chapter, having a comprehensive plan is essential so that your employees thrive long after you’re gone.

That’s why we created the Inktavo 5-Step Exit Strategy Checklist. It’s a practical set of high-level steps you need to take to prepare for exiting your shop and handing over the keys.

From defining your long-term vision to investing in standardized systems to make your business more sellable, this checklist walks you through the key steps to help you protect what you’ve built and move forward with confidence.

Key steps include: 

✅ Clarifying your long-term goals
✅ Assessing and maximizing your shop’s sellability
✅ Choose the right exit path for you
