What should I include in the “exit strategy” section of a business plan?


IPO
Oliver asks:

I’m need to develop an exit strategy regarding being acquired rather than an IPO, but I’m a geek — not a finance person. What should I include to keep from looking like a total boob?

I have been reading a book entitled “Angel Investing” by Mark Van Osnabrugge and Robert J. Robinson, but it doesn’t clearly state what to include.
I should add that the business is in a very early stage, ie no product or revenues.
