Exit Strategy PowerPoint Template and Google Slides

Leverage this exit strategy slide to guide business owners, investors, and advisors through six proven pathways for exiting a company while maximizing value and minimizing risk. On the left, a maze graphic symbolizes the complexity of exit planning, while six color-coded callouts on the right succinctly define each option: Merger or Acquisition, Initial Public Offering, Management Buyout, Sale to a Third Party, Liquidation, and Succession Planning. Each callout features a modern icon, a bold headline, and a concise description that highlights key considerations—such as market timing, governance transfer, tax implications, and continuity of operations.

This fully editable template uses vector-based artwork and master-slide support, making it simple to swap icons, update color bands, or relabel exit options to reflect your organization’s terminology. You can adjust the maze graphic to any complexity level or replace it with custom visuals that align with your brand identity. Intuitive text placeholders let you expand on valuation models, stakeholder alignment steps, or due-diligence checklists without disturbing the balanced layout. High-resolution elements ensure crisp rendering on large screens or printed reports, while layered objects facilitate sequential animations, allowing presenters to reveal each exit pathway one at a time for focused discussion.

Optimized for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this slide maintains formatting integrity across platforms and devices, eliminating version-control headaches when collaborating with remote teams. Whether you’re advising on strategic planning, educating a board on liquidity scenarios, or delivering a workshop on corporate finance, this template accelerates preparation and drives clarity by distilling complex exit options into an intuitive visual framework.

Who is it for

Entrepreneurs, private-equity professionals, M&A advisors, CFOs, and board members will benefit from this slide when evaluating or presenting exit plans. It’s also valuable for legal teams, financial analysts, and succession planners involved in preparing a company for transfer or wind-down.
