Consider These Statistics:
Do you have a retirement plan? Data shows that 34% of small business owners do not have retirement savings plans for themselves, and 40% of business owners are not confident that they will be able to retire before the age of 65.1
Are you meeting your fiduciary responsibilities for your employees? The Department of Labor may decide to audit your existing retirement plan. Statistics show that retirement plan issues are often uncovered in an audit. In 2013 for example, 3,677 audit investigations resulted in $1.7 billion in plan reimbursements and fines.2 It's always helpful to have a retirement plan review.
Do you have a business succession plan? Statistics show that over 60-70% of small business owners wish to pass along their businesses to the next generation of family members, yet only about 15% ever do, as a result of poor planning.3
Disability Insurance? For a business owner, an injury can be devastating. The Council for Disability Awareness reports the average 20-year-old worker has more than a 25% chance of becoming disabled before they retire, yet only 2 out of 10 consumers actually own disability insurance.4
