Business Owners Need Professional Advice.

There is an explosive opportunity to engage with the business owner community over the next ten years as they look to exit their businesses.

Business owners are multiple sources of revenue with a lifetime value.

The revenue created from one business owner can range between $100,000 - $500,000, depending on their specific needs. This can include life insurance sales, managed money opportunities, and success fees associated with the business broker or M&A advisor fees. They tend to keep the same professional advisors for decades.

A financial advisor can help business owners in many ways, including but not limited to the following:

 

Helping them learn about tax credits and incentives for small businesses. Finding money for a business owner is an exceptional way to provide value.

 

Help business owners with gaps in life insurance when the business is worth more than insured, especially when the owner is the business.

 

Helping business owners with a mitigating tax on appreciating assets. Almost every business owner faces this problem.

 

Increasing owner wealth and value through Capital Split Dollar – Split Funded Life Insurance strategies.

 

Helping implement compensation incentive plans and 401k plans to drive performance in their business.

 

Helping implement meaningful benefit plans to promote retention for employees and executives.

 

Helping business owners transition their business and provide succession plans by working with an M&A or ESOP specialist—a tremendous opportunity for financial advisors.

 

Financial advisors can help mitigate capital gains on the sale of a business through multiple advanced tax strategies.

 

Managing money from proceeds of the sale of their business, which also creates new estate planning opportunities.

 

 

The most significant opportunity is working with HNW-BO’s is their personal estate. This is an area that most financial advisors are more familiar with, helping to protect assets, manage assets, and financial/retirement planning.
