Elevating Your Business Plans
Did you know that the type of business entity you choose can significantly impact how protected your personal and non-business assets can be from risk?
Starting and running a business carries its own set of critical financial risk exposures. Business Planning in The Universe of Financial Planning focuses on wealth management issues that affect business owners, shareholders, executives, and employees.
When a business owner consults wealth management expertise, they are assisted in strategically coordinating decisions throughout the business lifecycle that contribute to the success both of their business and its stakeholders.
Whether large or small, our depth of consulting services accommodates employee (recruiting and retention) retirement plan management and design, acquisition planning, business expansion, succession planning, and the integration of employee benefits.
Many small businesses often represent a sizable portion of their owner’s net worth — a situation which provides opportunity to further empower your business by integrating advantages found in our estate planning and retirement planning, and advisement in REDW’s accounting, audit, and business valuation services, among others. Rest assured that our services are crafted to suit your business’s needs throughout its lifecycle. We are here for a long haul when you need us.
