A Note From Rene’
As I am currently working with some clients who are preparing their businesses for sale, it seems timely to talk about what life can look like on the other side of selling your company. Have you ever heard of Private Foundations? How about Donor Advised Funds? Do you know how to maximize your company’s proceeds? Please consider joining me for a complementary virtual workshop on Thursday, October 21st from 11am – noon, featuring Chris Vidler with Concentric Wealth Partners. I am also hopeful that this month’s article will challenge your thinking about retirement and how to best prepare for life after business ownership.
As always, please let me know if we can be of any assistance and do keep in touch.
Kind regards,
René
