THE AFTER LIFE - FINANCIAL LIFESTYLE PLANS AND PAINS OF A BUSINESS OWNER AFTER THE SALE OF THEIR BUSINESS
To the external world the sale of a business is the culmination of a lifetime of hard work. But to the business owner, it can be both the happiest day of their life as well as the saddest day.
Once the business is sold, business owners very often lose their identity. They struggle to keep themselves busy and become paralyzed financially not knowing if the sale proceeds will allow them to maintain the standard of living that the business afforded them. They are also unsure if they will be able to gift to their children and give to causes they are passionate about.
Learning Objectives:
In this session, you will learn about:
- What retirement looks like to a business owner in a post sale world
- Wealth planning, long-term financial planning, investment management are all issues that will be introduced and discussed as a business owner begins to define a new financial road map across unknown terrain in a post liquidity event landscape
About the Presenter:
Learn from industry expert, John Benun, Capital Group Private Client Services.

Financial Advisors
One of the critical ‘legs of the stool’ is personal financing planning.

Exit planning brings this future mindset into the present. Exit is now.

Valuation Analysts
Valuation is both a billable engagement AND an opportunity to provide owners some perspective on how to accelerate value drivers (and deal with value killers). Use exit planning to make that valuation into a longer term value acceleration engagement.
-
Wealth Managers
You’re a skilled relationship person. Being entangled into your clients’ professional lives matters as you build a strategy to manage their wealth upon them harvesting it from their business.
