Business Planning

What is Business Planning

Business planning is much different from traditional or personal financial planning. Whether it is continuity planning with buy-sell agreements, incentive planning for key personnel, or the complex transfer of the business to a new owner SWD specializes in financial planning for the unique circumstances that face every business owner at every stage of their business. Business planning is not something that is done overnight.

Without proper business planning many business owners may be forced to rely on the proceeds from the sale of the business or continue to receive income from the business to fund their retirements. This lack of financial independence may also lead to a business owner never truly exiting the business. Consider that 70% of business owners have not set any retirement date.

Business and Retirement Planning

According to the 2018 MassMutual Business Owner Survey, three out of four business owners have less than $500,000 saved in their retirement accounts. That means business owners are underestimating their financial reliance on the business post-retirement.

Exit Planning - Will My Business Sell???

Exit planning is the ongoing process of developing a written strategy for the day you leave your leadership or ownership role in the business due to a voluntary or involuntary departure.

According to the 2018 MassMutual Business Owner Survey, nearly 60% of business owners say they plan to sell their business...yet nearly 80% of businesses put up for sale do not sell.

A buy-sell agreement should be drafted to protect the business from the five D’s — death, disability, divorce, departure, and disqualification. When properly executed, a buy-sell agreement can help ensure the continuity of the business when ownership needs to change hands for any reason.
