Addressing the Unique Needs of Business Owners

We get it. Running a business is a 24/7-365 commitment. You juggle a lot of activities every single day, so let us take a few responsibilities off your plate. Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family. We want to learn more about your current situation (both financial and personal), identify your dreams and goals, and understand your tolerance for risk. Long-term relationships that encourage open and honest communication have been the cornerstone of RFG's success.

Because we work very closely with you and your trusted legal and tax advisors, we can more accurately target your business and estate planning goals. With a clear understanding of your needs, your RFG Team will:

• provide strategies designed to maximize your personal benefits,
• provide the tools to recruit, retain, and reward employees, and
• develop ownership succession strategies.

Once your customized plan is in place, we'll continue to support you by conducting annual reviews to ensure that the plan is on track. And to ensure you're positioned for the future, we can help you strengthen your business and transfer wealth to future generations. Take advantage of:

Retirement Planning: Qualified plans can help both owners and employees build financial independence. Your RFG Team can help to build and manage 401(k)/403(b) defined contribution plans, defined benefit pension and cash balance plans, profit sharing/money purchase plans, SIMPLE IRA and SEP IRA plans, as well as Solo(k)/Individual 401(k) plans. We can conduct seminars for your employees on their retirement packages as well as educational seminars on a variety of financial topics.

Executive Compensation Planning: Your RFG Team will work with you design tailored executive compensation packages that include supplemental pension plans, deferred compensation arrangements, executive bonus plans, and other incentive compensation plans. These programs provide you with the ability to target and motivate key employees and executives with financial incentives that can help to retain and reward the most valuable members of your team.

Business Succession Planning: Your RFG Team can help you build a succession strategy catered to your wealth transfer objectives. We can provide life insurance funding for a Buy-Sell Agreement to help provide for the orderly disposition of a closely held business if an owner dies, becomes disabled, or sells. We can also use life insurance to create needed liquidity and protect against the death of a key employee which can create serious challenges for a business. For Family business owners, we can help you to identify alternative strategies to equalize estate assets among all children – whether they’re active or inactive in the family business.
