  • Business owners should plan early for retirement and the potential sale of their business. Learn how to save, create an exit plan, and navigate taxes to retire securely.

Retiring from a business you own involves several key steps to ensure a smooth transition and financial security. First, assess your financial readiness by calculating your retirement needs and evaluating your business's value, possibly with the help of a financial advisor.
