How to transition from a successful business owner to a successful retiree.
When a business owner is asked what they’re doing for retirement, you’ll likely hear “my business is my retirement plan.” Most business owners plow their resources back in to the business and retirement planning can take a back seat. In this session, participants will learn how to address unique challenges and concerns that business owners face: how do I get income in retirement? How do I manage my taxes during the sale and years after? How do I protect my family assets? How do I prepare the next generation of owner?
