You’ve got a sound business plan.

Let us help you with the financial part.

 

Whether you’re already a business owner or thinking about becoming one, the decisions you make will have far-reaching implications – not only for your business but also for yourself and your family. There are critical decisions to make at each stage of your business lifecycle – from how to structure your business to how to wind it down, transition or sell it.

These are among the common issues my clients regularly ask me about, which I can help you solve myself, supported by many experts at RBC, and/or working with your professional advisors.

  • The best structure for your business and situation; sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation.
  • Personal and business tax-reduction strategies for Canadian corporations.
  • How to handle surplus cash; should it be withdrawn from the business and, if so, how to do it tax-effectively and what to do with it.
  • Setting up savings and retirement plans etc. for your employees.
  • Strategies for protecting personal assets and safeguarding business assets from potential creditor claims.
  • Planning ahead to avoid or limit the damage of an unexpected setback or catastrophic event, whether it’s a serious illness or injury, marriage breakdown or loss of a key employee.
  • Selling the business, transitioning it, or keeping it in the family.
  • Financial and retirement planning.
  • You’ve poured your heart and soul into your business – it’s who you are – and now you’re expected to just stop. Have you thought about how you are going to spend your time in retirement?
  • Ensuring wealth is passed to the next generation in the most tax-efficient way possible.

While you focus on taking care of your business, my team and I can help you with the “financial business” – everything from protecting yourself from the unexpected to planning a successful retirement. What matters to you, matters to me.

Let me be a part of your support team.
