Beacon Exit Planning Publishes an Amazon #1 Bestselling Book

HARTFORD, Conn. - Sept. 4, 2018 - PRLog -- Beacon Exit Planning, America's Exit Planner™, announced today the release of its Amazon #1 bestselling book, The Contractor's 60 Minute Exit Plan, written by their two award-winning exit planners, Kevin Kennedy and Joseph Bazzano. The book is an educational tool designed to guide contractors as they begin the journey of exiting their business.

Kennedy was a contractor who bought and sold a 63-year old contracting business with two other owners. He founded Beacon based on his experience with exit planning and succession of his top 20 ENR specialty contracting business. "Exiting my private business was the largest financial event of my life and I want to help other contractors get through the process more effectively, efficiently, and with less stress and pain, while protecting their wealth at the same time," explained Kennedy.

Bazzano, a certified public accountant, valuation analyst and business exit consultant, agrees that contractors need to be able to see the big picture when it comes to creating their exit plan. "Every business is different and the owners planning their exit need to have the guidance and experience of professionals who can help them maximize the value of their business while minimizing tax implications," stated Bazzano. "This book serves as the perfect introduction for contractors trying to navigate the complexity of exiting their businesses."

The book was written without the legal and financial technical jargon to make what can be a very complex process more understandable and provide a path for contractors to successfully exit their businesses and achieve financial independence. "When I exited my business, my advisors used a template approach and cookie cutter advice that didn't take my unique needs into consideration," said Kennedy.

"This approach cost my company, sellers and fellow exiting owners "millions of dollars" in unnecessary taxes. I have taken what I learned from that experience and partnered with Joe to create this book to help other contractors understand the whole process, help them envision their path to a successful exit and reduce their financial risk."

Kennedy and Bazzano are committed to educating contractors about the process, the pitfalls and the challenges they will need to overcome in order to be successful through their numerous articles, speaking engagements at industry conferences and educational events.

The book is listed #1 best seller in three categories of Taxation, Commercial Law and Retirement Planning on Amazon. The #1 ranking was earned during the pre-launch that demonstrated the need to provide contractors with more information on exit planning as the large demand has earned Kennedy and Bazzano both best-selling author status on the site.  The book is available for purchase on Amazon (https://smile.amazon.com/Contractors-Minute-Exit-Plan-Com...).
