Your Business as an Investment

If you already own your own business, chances are good that it's your most important asset. You may not think of it that way, but when you own a business, you not only derive an income from it, but you're hopefully cultivating a business you can sell at a profit or pass on to heirs someday.

Starting, running and growing a business, and ultimately reaping the rewards of your investment, is a complex and diverse topic that is beyond the scope of this Financial Planning Toolkit. It involves balancing your personal financial needs and the financial requirements of your business. Always make business decisions with both personal and business financial considerations in mind.
