Business Planning
Business owners face unique challenges—and opportunities—in terms of financial planning. You’ve worked hard to develop your ideas into a successful business, or perhaps you’re considering moving into self-employment. Regardless of your situation, choose a financial planning strategy that takes advantage of your unique situation.
You worked hard to develop a business, and now is time to enjoy the results. Many entrepreneurs spend years of focused effort building up a business, but then fail to consider how to make the transition to retirement. Having a financial plan in place can offer expert advice in how to plan an effective business succession strategy. Small businesses can also benefit from a plan that ensures an equal legacy for their successors. A financial advisor can help entrepreneurs plan an inheritance that is fairly distributed among all loved ones |
If you are considering moving to self-employment, contact us to discuss how to revise your financial plan. Working together, we will help you adjust from a situation where a previous employer might have provided benefits, such as health or life insurance or a company pension. Life and disability insurance can be difficult to purchase at first since many insurers want two years of tax results. As well, self-employed entrepreneurs can gain tax write-offs for some health insurance premiums. In addition to being sure to pick the right retirement plan going forward. |
Entrepreneurs can work to turn equity in the business into capital that can be used to fund retirement. Having a financial plan in place can help business owners with tax-effective retirement strategies, such as using cash-value life insurance, paying yourself a salary with benefits as the business owner and key employee, arranging liquidity for success to buy the business, or setting up buy-sell agreements to help key employees or partners purchase your business. If the founder is nearing the end of his or her life, a well-thought-out financial plan can help heirs’ transition into business owners. |
