Almost all of our business-owner clients ask the seemingly simple question: "When can I afford to step away from the business?"
But it’s clear that retirement isn’t really the question.
You have spent decades building your company. It represents a significant portion of your wealth, but it also represents something much more personal: Your identity, your independence and an important part of the legacy you hope to leave behind.
You want to eventually step away, but you also want to make sure your family is taken care of, that you minimize unnecessary tax, maintain the lifestyle you have worked hard to create and determine how much of your wealth should ultimately pass to the next generation.
One decision touched another.
The timing of a business transition could affect your retirement income.
The eventual proceeds could change your investment strategy and tax position.
Your estate plans needed to account for the business and the wealth it could create.
And your family's future needs to be part of the conversation.
This is why we believe financial planning needs to be holistic. Your circumstances don't stand still, and neither should your financial plan.
Curious whether your current business succession plan or tax strategy is working as hard as it could be? We help successful Canadians build integrated plans that align investment management, tax planning, business planning, retirement income, and legacy goals.
