Financing solutions
Access to financing is often the difference between growing your business and maintaining the status quo. A wide range of financing solutions are available to help you meet your business needs, including:
• Business operating accounts to manage your cash flow
• Business credit cards to separate business and personal expenses

Insurance solutions
Protecting your business and employees is crucial. Insurance solutions can help you motivate and reward your valued employees while also protecting your business from potential losses. Here are some specific considerations:
• Buy-sell agreements to govern the conditions of a future sale or buyback of your business
• Key employee life insurance to protect your business from the financial loss resulting from the death of a key employee
• Executive bonus plans to reward key employees and provide a tax-sensitive way to pay bonuses
• Deferred compensation plans to help highly paid employees save for retirement
Retirement plans
Helping your employees feel confident about their retirement prospects is important. Retirement plans can benefit both you and your employees by offering:
• Tax-deferred growth
• Pre-tax contributions to reduce taxable income
• A variety of investment options to provide diversification
Business valuations
Understanding the value of your business is critical for making informed decisions. This valuation yields four distinct values:
• Equity value
• Asset sale value
• Enterprise value
• Liquidation value
By considering these key items, you can give your business a competitive edge and be strategic for the future you envision. Thoughtful planning can help you protect and grow your business while also rewarding and motivating your employees.
