Think about the effect on your business if you lost one of your partners or key staff members for a lengthy period. Would your business continue functioning normally? What would the effect be if one of your business partners died or became disabled? How would your business cope if that partner’s share of the business was passed on to their dependants?

After gaining a thorough understanding of your business, our specialist will draw up a precise business continually plan designed to protect your business in the event of such upheavals.

Many business owners aspire to being able to retire one day, gracefully bowing out of their business on their own terms.

Whatever way you do it, business succession must be planned and managed well. Aside from potential monetary losses if not handled well, there’s a real emotional cost involved in seeing a healthy business falter.

Superannuation is a remarkably tax effective method of building wealth for retirement. Our financial planner can explain the tax advantages of superannuation and show you how making the most of super could help you and your employees, retire with more.

Creating your own superannuation fund, known as a self-managed super fund (SMSF), is a popular alternative these days, particularly for business owners.

It is important to develop a clear investment strategy, select an appropriate mix of investments, sort out insurance needs, receive up-to-date information on market performance, and keep up with new investment opportunities.

Our financial planner can provide detailed advice and assistance with creating and running your SMSF.

How I become Entrepreneur

Entrepreneurs think differently. Entrepreneurs build stuff in their obsessive daily quest to find value. They invent things, create companies, and generate jobs. I love it, not only because it is good for our world to have lots of people thinking this way, but because it is an excellent attitude to life where anything is possible. It is a world full of potential, if you are prepared to work for it.

My dad taught this way of thinking to me when I was 10.

He gave me $10 and explained to me that I could not keep it for myself but had to spend it on materials that I could use to sell something. For example, I could buy a bucket of candies and pack them well in handmade basket with decoration like ribbons and flowers to neighbours for $30 and make $20 out of the original investment.

I thought a lot about it and was very excited. I decided to buy a pack of colour pens, thread, colour paper and ribbons to start a handicraft business. I made an excellent prototype and then we talked about our plan, which I wrote on the whiteboard.

I made a bunch of handworks, enclosed with my drawing and sold them to neighbours and friends. Out of the original $10 investment, I made $35. I think like an entrepreneur ever after.
