Starting a new chapter: What's next after the exit?
It's done - the sale has been completed. So what now? The post-exit period brings new opportunities, but it also presents founders with new challenges and decisions that need to be taken.

Life after an exit

A start-up exit isn't just a financial milestone – it's a turning point. Forward-thinking founders start planning early, and ask themselves questions like: "What comes next?" or "What do I want my life to look like afterwards?"

At LGT, we understand the challenges and opportunities that come with a successful exit. As a bank controlled for almost a century by an entrepreneurial family, we combine entrepreneurial vision with long-term stability.
