Needs Analysis

Want to know what your retirement will look like? By providing an understanding of what your business is worth and a plan for extracting that value through your preferred transition strategy, we will present a realistic future income scenario. That scenario incorporates your existing personal assets into a comprehensive picture of what you can expect your assets to generate in retirement to achieve your goals.

Plan Design and Execution

After identifying your personal and business goals, we work collaboratively with your existing team of advisors to design a plan proving the best chance for a successful outcome. Success will be measured by your objectives — by identifying these in advance, all of your advisors will work cohesively to structure a transition plan narrowly tailored to achieve your goals.

Ongoing Peer Group Support

Transitions do not happen overnight. It’s long term process that requires your attention and commitment. Our affiliation with TAB Western Reserve provides the assistance you need to stay on track with ongoing support that includes peer to peer advisory boards. Peer boards consist of business owners who face many of the same issues as you, and who are there to help keep you accountable to your plan.

 

Legacy Business Advisors incorporates next level advisory services using the Capitaliz platform.  Our Cap Accredited advisors are ready to build your business value.

What’s Next

Why Have a Plan?

When you started your business, your focus was appropriately on the next sale or next week’s overhead. Taking a vacation– or leaving your business for any amount of time was probably the last thing on your mind, and rightfully so. Now that you can spend more time enjoying the fruits of your labor, your focus turns to what comes next.

With the same care it took to build your business, the next chapter needs the same thoughtful planning.

 

Why Plan Now?

You’re not alone. Baby boomers like you own more than 12 million businesses. In the next 10-years, it’s estimated that 70% of those businesses will be sold. Supply could outweigh demand.

More than $40 trillion of assets reside in those small businesses. If you’re like most business owners, your assets are tied to your companies day-to-day operations.

If you can’t exit your business and Tap these assets, how will you retire?
