For many business owners, the value of the business makes up most of their assets. Often things like superannuation and investments are neglected while the business has been built.
Selling a business is a great time to take a high-level overview of your personal wealth situation. So it’s a good idea to engage a business tax expert to plan out how best to utilise your cash.  Often a large contribution to super is done as part of accessing the Small Business CGT Concessions, so it's best to make sure the money inside your super is invested in line with your long-term goals.
With the right advice and the right plan in place, it can be possible to use the sale of your business as an opportunity to reach financial freedom. But speak to your adviser first to discuss what financial freedom means to you.
