SMALL BUSINESS SERVICES FAQs

Common questions about planning for business owners

Why do business owners need a financial planner?

Business owners often have their personal and business finances deeply intertwined, which makes planning more complex. A fiduciary financial planner helps separate, coordinate, and optimize both sides to support long-term stability. Our role is to create strategies that protect your business while ensuring your personal financial goals are not overlooked.

What types of retirement plans do you offer for businesses?

We assist in designing and implementing a range of business retirement plans, including 401(k), SIMPLE IRA, and SEP IRA options. The choice depends on your company size, employee needs, and long-term goals. Each plan is customized to provide tax advantages, attract employees, and support the owner’s future retirement.

How does succession planning work?

Succession planning involves preparing your business for transfer, whether to a family member, key employee, or an outside buyer. We help you outline a strategy that maintains business continuity, protects employees, and provides financial security for you and your family. This process includes valuation considerations, tax planning, and aligning your personal goals with the business transition.

Can you coordinate with my CPA or business attorney?

Yes, we believe collaboration is essential for small business planning. We work closely with CPAs, attorneys, and other professionals to integrate legal, tax, and financial strategies into one cohesive plan. This ensures your business and personal finances are aligned and working toward the same objectives.

Do you help with cash flow management for small businesses?

Absolutely. Healthy cash flow is the backbone of a thriving business. We help you analyze current cash flow, identify potential gaps, and create strategies to maintain stability while funding growth. Our approach balances the immediate needs of running a business with long-term financial planning.

How do you integrate business and personal financial plans?

We look at both sides of your financial life and create a strategy that connects them. This might include aligning retirement contributions, tax planning, and investment strategies to serve both your company and personal goals. The result is a comprehensive plan that supports your business success while protecting your family’s future.
