Planning for Business Owners

Build, Protect & Transition Your Business with Confidence

As a business owner, you wear many hats—managing employees, building products or services, serving clients, and navigating ever-changing tax laws and regulations. While you focus on growing your business, planning for your financial future often takes a backseat.

At Future-Focused Wealth, we understand that your business is not just your livelihood—it’s your legacy. That’s why we help business owners:

✔ Prepare for a secure retirement—even if your business doesn’t sell as planned.
✔ Protect your business from unexpected events—like the loss of a key partner or employee.
✔ Create succession strategies—to ensure your business thrives after you step away.
✔ Reward and retain top talent—with tailored compensation plans.

Retirement Planning for Business Owners

💡 Your business shouldn’t be your only retirement plan.

Many business owners rely on selling their business to fund retirement, but:
❌ Businesses can lose value during economic downturns.
❌ Selling at the “right” time may not always be possible.
❌ The business’s value may depend on you—and won’t transfer after retirement.

To ensure a secure retirement, business owners should diversify their strategy with:
✔ Qualified Retirement Plans—401(k)s, SIMPLE IRAs, or SEP IRAs tailored for business owners.
✔ Nonqualified Plans—Providing additional retirement income without contribution limits.
✔ Life Insurance-Based Plans—Offering tax advantages while growing wealth.

Succession Planning: Protecting Your Business’s Future

What happens to your business if you or a partner leaves unexpectedly? Without a proper succession plan, businesses face:
❌ Disputes with heirs or family members over ownership.
❌ Inadequate capital to buy out a partner’s share.
❌ Business instability when leadership transitions poorly.

We help business owners:
✔ Create buy-sell agreements—Ensuring a smooth transfer of ownership.
✔ Structure life insurance funding—Providing capital to compensate partners or heirs.
✔ Develop continuity plans—So your business thrives during leadership changes.

Key Employee Protection: Safeguarding Your Business

Your employees are the backbone of your business—especially those with unique skills or experience. Losing a key employee can:
❌ Delay projects, decrease revenue, and increase costs.
❌ Create gaps in leadership or operations.
❌ Impact your business’s value or ability to attract clients.

We help business owners:
✔ Insure key employees—Providing funds to recruit and replace talent.
✔ Structure coverage—To support the business and the employee’s family.
✔ Create salary continuation plans—Offering stability during unexpected transitions.

Executive Compensation: Retaining & Rewarding Top Talent

Attracting and retaining top talent is essential for business growth. Without strong incentives, key executives may:
❌ Leave for competitors offering better packages.
❌ Lack motivation to perform at their best.
❌ Create instability within your leadership team.

We help structure customized plans, including:
✔ Nonqualified Deferred Compensation—Providing future benefits in exchange for continued service.
✔ Executive Bonus Plans—Rewarding talent while offering tax-efficient benefits.
✔ Split-Dollar Life Insurance—Combining life insurance with long-term incentives.
