YOUR BUSINESS, OUR BUSINESS

Our approach starts by helping business owners protect the value of their enterprise.

Then, we work together to develop strategies that reward vital contributors and enhance the financial security of their employees.

SUCCESSION & EXIT PLANNING

What's your state of readiness?

Research has shown that 99% of owners agree: “Having a transition strategy is important both for my future and for the future of my business.” Yet survey data from the very same owners revealed:

79% OF OWNERS HAVE NO WRITTEN TRANSITION PLAN.

48% HAVE DONE NO PLANNING AT ALL.

94% HAVE NO WRITTEN PERSONAL THIRD ACT PLAN.

Start early to realize your vision and lifetime value.

Most of our clients want their business to continue after they are no longer working and to create a profitable exit strategy for themselves and their families.

A well thought-out and properly executed lifetime exit strategy is required to make this vision a reality. Unlike many other traditional financial advisors who are only concerned with your investment portfolio or 401(k), our team is focused on helping maximize the value of your business and ensure its continued success.

We can help you design a succession plan that:

  • Sets your objectives
  • Values your business
  • Analyzes pre-sale tax savings opportunities
  • Determines future ownership
  • Implements a purchase agreement
  • Establishes your legacy
