Running your own business can be one of the most stressful and, conversely, the most rewarding accomplishments of your life. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, consistently, 20% of start-up small businesses fail in the first year, and only 50% of the small businesses created make it to their fifth year in business1. While these statistics seem daunting, they are not insurmountable. Being successful at running a small business takes pre-planning, active management, and flexibility.
How can I help
As a Certified Financial PlannerTM professional, I can help you create a start-up plan if you want to start a new business. We will review structure options, financing strategies, accounting and tax solutions, and workplace management. I will work with you to determine the best options for your situation so that you can start your new venture off on the right foot.
If you already have a business, I can evaluate your current position and look for efficiencies to help your business thrive. I can also work with you to set up employee benefits like insurance and retirement plans.
One thing that is always true in business planning is that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' plan. Each and every business owner, model, requirements, and constraint are vastly different. That is why I pride myself on creating a custom plan for each business owner - because they deserve it.
