Plan for success

You may be so focused on growing your company that you put off important tasks like planning succession or formalizing a transition plan. In fact, 49% of business owners have done no planning at all, and 94% have no plan for after they exit the business.¹

It's advisable to start planning three to five years in advance of a business ownership transition, which could allow for optimized reinvestment options, minimized tax ramifications, and a full vetting of transition options.

We can help you integrate personal and business ownership planning, to make sure your hard work is in sync with your life goals. To learn more about our specialized services for business owners, contact your advisor.
