Advisors: don't forget these Small Business Financial Planning Topics

The following tools will help you to approach a potential client about financial planning for their small business.

Financial planning for business owners is often two-sided: planning for the business and also personal financial planning. Our video and presentation outlines both:

• What’s a Financial Plan
• Why you need a Financial Plan
• What does a Financial Plan include- personally and for the business
• The Financial Planning Process

When dealing with a business owner, things can get pretty complicated. This checklist is focused on helping you to remember discussing key aspects of a business owner's financial planning.

Remember, financial planning for business owners is often 2 sided- one for the business and the other for the personal side.
