28A – Your Exit Strategy

1- I think my bussiness can stay in the market for more than 5 years because I sell products that people constantly consume. I think for a large return I will sell my bussiness in the next 10-15years because it takes time to build a good reputation and I would like to enjoy my dream a little more time than just 5 years. I don't think I will retire any time soon I would like to expand the business and maintain for future family members that are moving from Venezuela. This would help them to start a new life here and a way to gain money from a solid bakery.

2- The main reason of this exit strategy is because I am thinking about the future of my family. I still have some family in Venezuela and they are thinking of moving here to look for a better future just like my family and I did. If I keep the bakery more time I can build a good reputation and build an audience, so when they take the bakery it would be easier for them. Moreover, I would like to be involved in the business more time because this will give me a different experience.

3- I think this decision would potentially influence my family to accelerate their decision of coming to the United States to change their life. I think they will be more enthusiastic and motivated to start a new life doing something that they know how to do and the like it. I think that the fact that I know my family is planning to come here has influenced me to take this decision because I would like to help them. I know that starting over again is not easy and this will make their journey a little bit easier. Moreover, as I mention before baking is an activity that my all family enjoy and we are all good at it. The fact that they can be in this bussiness in the future I know they knowledge it will be a good resource for the bakery because the quality of the products will be maintained or even it can improve.
