As a business owner, you’ve got plenty to do keeping your company up and running on a daily basis.
Preparing for what will happen to your business after you retire – or are suddenly unable to run it – can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Heydari Wealth Group we can help you build a succession strategy that can be key to the success and survival of the business you’ve worked so hard to build.
We’ll work with you to prepare for your eventual exit and the challenges that come with changes in ownership, as well as put a strategy in place to help make sure your business is protected from the unexpected.
Creating a strategy now will help ensure your long-term goals are met – whether that’s receiving a fair value for your company, maintaining pride in its ongoing name and tradition or smoothly transitioning ownership to an employee or family member.
Retirement planning for business owners:
As a business owner, you likely provide your top people with bonuses or retirement packages to reward them for their contribution to the company and encourage their loyalty. But what about your retirement needs? A potential solution you likely have a great deal of your own wealth tied up in your business.
One day you may want to step back from the business, and maybe retire. However, you may be like many business owners who only focus on the operation until it’s too late. And your retirement would then be DEPENDENT on selling the business, leaving you with limited options. Instead, consider a retirement strategy that allows you to become independent of the business by redeploying after-tax dollars to a tax-deferred vehicle with guaranteed income opportunities, such as life insurance.
