Insurance and Estate planning
Are you self-employed or a small business owner? Have you ever thought about how the business would survive if you were unable to work for an extended period of time? What about if a key person or partner was to leave or die?
Having a buy/sell agreement in place if you are in partnership or own equity in a business is very important for business owners. The death of a key person or partner could potentially destroy a business or force remaining partners to sell if an agreement is not in place.
Succession planning is about having a strategy in place that will protect your interests and all other parties involved.
We understand small business owners’ needs. Our wealth protection services cover the following:
- Business Expenses Insurance
- Key Person Insurance
- Buy sell agreement
Superannuation, Investment and Cashflow
As you already know, working for yourself means that nobody is contributing to your superannuation and retirement except you. This means you must allocate funds to ensure you will have enough savings for your future. Relying on the sale of your business for retirement is not a comprehensive strategy. You may not be able to sell when you like or the business may not be worth what you are expecting, especially without you as the operator.
Superannuation
Contributing regularly to superannuation not only provides security for your future, it also provides an effective tax strategy as contributions are generally taxed at a lower rate when compared with your personal income.
Investment
A diverse investment portfolio can provide additional income or build towards your retirement goals. Depending on your situation and risk profile, we can advise on a structured portfolio which will meet your needs and give you access to funds when you require it. This is an added benefit when compared to superannuation as withdrawals must comply with a condition of release.
Cashflow
Cash flow and access to funds when income fluctuates is a major consideration for people who are self-employed or small business owners. A plan must be created to identify what is needed for ongoing expenses, what should be done with surplus income, and what options are available for your particular needs.
