List and briefly explain the four basic harvest strategies for the small business.

What will be an ideal response?


1.  Selling the firm involves transferring ownership of the business to a willing and able buyer.
2.  Releasing the firm's cash flows to its owners involves the orderly withdrawal of the owner's investment in the firm, rather than reinvesting this excess capital for the future growth of the firm.
3.  Offering stock to the public through an IPO is used primarily as a way to raise additional capital to finance company growth, but it is also used as a way to harvest the owner's investment.
4.  Issuing a private placement of the firm's stock entails the infusion of private equity capital.  This form is best for a family-controlled firm transferring ownership from one generation to the next and eventually to outside investors, while at the same time providing growth capital.
