This is a really good idea, similar to raising money when you don't need it. It could help prevent you from making a mistake or getting into a unattractive position for when you are thinking of selling. I've seen this with one & few person companies, everything from messy ownership & cap tables, to tax obligations, to the structure of multi-year sales or contracts. This is why even big PE portfolio companies start planning for a sale years in advance; the difference (making it harder for you IMO) is that they have a pretty good idea when the sale will happen.
