Business Owners

Small business owners have distinct challenges during formation, growth, and exit. Here’s how we developed a long-term strategy to benefit an owner and her employees.

Opportunity

A new owner of a regional childcare provider came to us with strategic business issues. She wanted to know how to manage the stages of her business: startup, expansion, and exit planning. She also wanted to evaluate retirement offerings for herself and her employees.

Solution

During her business’s inception, we helped strategically select the optimal business structure, establish a group retirement plan, and manage corporate and individual tax planning. We explored real estate expansion possibilities. As her business flourished, we continued to provide guidance on managing surplus cash.

Outcome

Our client is now a knowledgeable and secure business owner with a documented financial plan to help grow her business, benefit her team, and provide personal financial security.
