What Happens After the Company Sale—and What Role Will I Play?

Many entrepreneurs focus intensely on the sales process—but less on what comes after. The post-closing phase is crucial for a successful handover and personal satisfaction. Here are possible roles after the sale:

1. Full Exit (“Clean Exit”)

You leave the company entirely after signing the contract or following a brief transition period.

2. Transitional Support (“Transition Model”)

You remain on board for a limited time—for example, as a consultant, project manager, or interim executive.

3. Strategic Background Role

You stay strategically involved through a minority stake, an advisory board seat, or a formal mandate.
Personal questions to consider:
1. Do I want to let go—or stay involved?
2. What does the company need—and what will my life need after the sale?
3. How can I plan my transition to present myself clearly and with a forward-looking mindset?
