Small Business Owners: Planning as Part of the Business Strategy

Small business owners often have greater flexibility in shaping their tax outcomes, but that flexibility requires foresight and structure.
Common planning areas include:

  • Reevaluating entity structure as the business grows or profitability changes
  • Designing owner compensation strategies that balance salary and distribution
  • Timing income, expenses, and capital investments to support cash flow and tax efficiency
  • Planning ahead for succession, sale, or retirement

When tax planning is integrated into business operations, growth becomes more sustainable and predictable.
