Setting the Expectation for Small Business Planning
Being small business owners ourselves, we understand every business is different and therefore needs its own unique approach.
As with a personal financial plan, distinguishing a business plan with stated goals is incredibly beneficial. However, by reviewing both individual and business goals, we are able to ensure both aspects are distinct. This will remove blurred lines and ensure we do not compromise one side or the other.
When specifically viewing the business side, we get creative in our thinking. We want to ensure we find the most suitable option available. Additionally, liquidity management and cash flow analysis services allow for confidence behind navigating the markets. This is a cornerstone to a successful business portfolio. Finally, we work with employer retirement plans to create one that focuses on fulfilling a need beyond retirement. For example, we might look at talent retention through vesting schedules.

What is Small Business Financial Planning?
When it comes to financial planning for your small business, it’s almost impossible to separate your personal and business goals. That’s why it is crucial that your personal financial strategy includes the aspect of owning and operating a business.
Small business planning is the process of closely managing your personal and business finances. The goal is to maintain these finances in a way to achieve the goals you have in life. Proper financial planning for your small business should entail setting realistic financial and personal goals. Along with this we will be assessing where you currently stand financially. From there we’ll want to create a strategy to obtain your goals. Then it’s time to follow your unique strategy with your investment actions. Finally, we will monitor & analyze your plan with you to stay on track with your goals.
Financial planning for a small business takes a “Big Picture” approach. It assesses the entire scope of your finances in the setting of your business. By doing this you guarantee your finances work in harmony to attain your financial business goals. This includes all aspects of your finances including investments, tax planning, insurance, retirement planning and estate planning.
A pitfall that a lot of small business owners run into is that they focus all of their money into their business. This makes sense as you know your business best but can be extremely risky. You could end up in financial ruin though if you don’t have your money diversified properly. Especially if the worst were to happen to your business.
This is why it’s important to work with an advisor who can counsel business owners to diversify at least some of their investment money. PPWG™ is set on growing your business but with a smart strategy that works best for you.
With continually evolving requirements on retirement plans, we begin by taking a step back. Retirement plans can be utilized not only to provide benefits, but can be structured several ways to accomplish goals. These may be retaining talent, compensation plans for executives, or lowering taxable income. Finally, our added transparency and fiduciary relationship ensures our clients do not take on unnecessary risk.
