One of the biggest challenges I hear from business owners—whether they’re just starting out or well-established—is how to plan for the future beyond today’s success. After working with small businesses for over 15 years at BBB (and hearing about these challenges firsthand from my husband, who’s a small business owner), I know how important it is to think about the bigger picture: 🏖️ What does retirement look like? 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 How can you take care of your employees long-term? ⏲️ What’s the plan for your business 5, 10, or 20 years from now? 🤝 How will you navigate succession planning when it’s time to pass the torch? These aren’t easy questions, but they’re critical for ensuring your business has a future beyond you. This BBB article offers helpful tips on how financial planners can guide small businesses through long-term planning and succession strategies: https://ow.ly/qzz650UAHWr If you’re a business owner thinking about the future, I’d love to know: what’s been your biggest challenge in planning for what’s next? #SmallBusiness #SuccessionPlanning #FinancialPlanning #BBBTips #BetterBusiness
