Business Planning

Do you have a business or are you planning to start one? Knowing which steps you need to take can give you direction in pursuing a positive return on your investment. Consulting a financial advisor will provide insight and help address your goals.

Here are a few considerations you should make before getting started:

• What type of business do you have, or are you interested in starting?
• Do you have capital to run the business?
• Do you currently or will you potentially have investors?

These are all important elements that can help you to determine which steps you should take. You need to have a sound plan in place for a firm foundation that will give you a clearer picture of where your business is going and how it is going to get there. A financial advisor can assist you by helping you create a strategic financial plan that will include assets, liabilities and other contingencies that will all play a role in the management of your business.

Business Succession

Whether it is next week or fifty years from now, at some point, it will be time to leave your business behind. Having a plan in place that will help dictate how things will be done after you’re gone will save time and money. There are a number of things to consider, including whether or not you will transfer ownership, sell the company or appoint someone as a figurehead to take charge while you continue operating as a consultant. You should also consider what your family should do with the company should something happen to you. All of these factors are a part of business succession planning and should not be taken lightly.
