Business Succession Planning
A business transition plan is the first step in securing the future of your business and ensuring that your own personal retirement goals are met. A proper business transition plan will help you ensure the smooth transition of your company, provide you with financial security and protect everything you have worked so hard to achieve. Whatever the goal of your business transition plan, the key is to identify your financial objectives, start planning early and use the advice of a team of experts to ensure your company will continue to be successful.
Will Planning
While estate planning is about more than simply writing a Will, a Will provides a framework to ensure the distribution of your assets to your heirs in a timely and tax-efficient manner and is an important part of every estate plan.
Fee Based Accounts
With fee based accounts, a monthly or quarterly fee is charged based on the assets in your account. Benefiting from the advice of an investment professional and knowing that someone you trust is looking out for your best interests is the foundation of a fee-based account. This includes investment advice, portfolio construction, rebalancing, keeping you informed and ongoing monitoring - giving you the freedom to focus on what's most important to you.
Retirement Solutions
We offer the following registered account options for our clients:
- Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP): RRSP contributions, up to an annual maximum amount, are tax-deductible, and your investments grow tax-deferred until withdrawn.
- Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF): A RRIF is a tax-effective way to draw income from your RRSP after retirement, while continuing to earn tax-free growth on the funds within the account.
- Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA): You can contribute up to $10,000 to a TFSA each year and access your savings at any time. Your investments grow tax-free and you won't pay tax on any growth earned in the account, even when you make a withdrawal.
- Locked-In Retirement Account (LIRA): A LIRA is an RRSP subject to restrictions under federal or provincial pension legislation. You may transfer eligible pension funds to a LIRA, where the funds can grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
