Business Owners and Incorporated Professionals

We work with business owners and incorporated professionals across a range of industries to create and protect value in your business. Building wealth goes beyond running a strong balance sheet and showing profits each year. A key to enjoying the results of your hard work is to build wealth inside and outside your business.

We can guide you in creating:

  • a succession plan to help ensure you get the return on your life investment you deserve
  • a holding company, a life insurance policy, and other tools to limit your tax liability 
  • a well-diversified investment portfolio outside the business that can continue to generate income long after you have sold or moved on from your life as a business owner
  • tax minimization techniques that consider retirement planning and succession, cash flow management, estate planning, and investments.

For businesses with annual sales between $20 million and $500 million, IG Private Company Advisory provides strategic and transaction advisory services. Discover how we can help unlock your company's potential.

You may have spent your working life accumulating wealth. Now you are getting ready to move to the next phase. This will involve a fundamental change in how you view and manage your wealth.  While looking at ways to increase it, you are now also looking at ways to protect it to maintain your lifestyle and leave a legacy. The next stage of your life will be different.  

We can help you address several realities:
