Business Owners

While the age of Business Owners can vary widely, their needs are often very similar. In addition to the basic financial planning needs of a Professional, the Business Owner needs assistance in evaluating, installing and monitoring a robust suite of employee benefits and retirement plans designed to attract, retain and reward employees. Business Owners also have unique liability and insurance needs. Finally, partnerships bring their own set of challenges, including protecting against the financial loss associated with the death or disability of an owner or key employee.
