Strategies for Businesses
Our Advisors understand the complexities of planning for businesses and their owners. It is quite difficult and most often impractical to try to separate the entity from the family planning process. Our Advisors have a great deal of experience working with Business Owners and are well equipped to analyze the financial picture as a whole. Some aspects that are considered.
Cash Flow Management
Our Advisors can help devise a plan to maximize returns for your short and mid-term cash needs.
Retirement Plans
The dozens of different plans available and frequent Legislative changes present a complex obstacle for Business owners. Our advisors are trained to use this to your advantage. In conjunction with our Retirement Support Specialists, we can help select the plan that best meets the needs of your business. We are considerate of the desire to maximize funding while minimizing costs, the need to educate employees, and the need to protect the interests of the business by limiting liability.
At Synergy Wealth Strategies our representatives believe that creating the plan is the beginning of the relationship, not the end result. We strive for the highest levels of service by keeping the employers informed, the employees educated, and making sure that the plan is up to date with the frequent Legislative changes and remains the best vehicle for the business.
Identifying and maintaining the proper plan is only half of the battle. At Synergy, our Advisors are well qualified to guide you through the next important piece of the puzzle...the investments.

Succession Planning
For many business owners, the business represents their families largest asset. It is imperative to have a plan in place to ensure that the transition of this asset is accounted for in your planning. If you can't or do not wish to continue running the business, who will take over? Do you have a partner? Is there a younger generation family member that you would like to take over? Will you sell? To whom? Perhaps the Employees? How will you be compensated for this transition?
Theses are only a couple of the very important questions that must be addresses. Our advisors are qualified to guide you through the Succession Planning Process. We can help you plan for your eventual relinquishing of control, obtain business valuations, identify potential successors, explore ESOP's, prepare Buy/Sell agreements, and explore many other strategies.
