There’s so much uncertainty in the world and it can feel hard to confidently lead your small business when the path ahead is unclear.

Today we’re joined by Jim Mills, the managing director of Merit Planning Hills, to look at some strategies to help guide businesses during difficult times.

Jim looks at some of the factors that affect businesses, including:

  • Economic fluctuations
  • Interest rates
  • Government policies
  • Global events

We uncover strategies that businesses can use at any point to offer greater clarity and increase chances of success, including:

  • Regular collaboration between business owners and their trusted advisers, like financial planners and accountants
  • Focus on maximising wealth accumulation and tax efficiency
  • Attention to superannuation contributions and investment diversification

Jim also reminds business owners to think outside of the day-to-day success of their business and look at accumulating personal wealth throughout their time of running a business. This is key to enjoying the fruits of your labour during retirement.
