Many small business owners place all their faith \u2013 and life savings \u2013in their business. There\u2019s another way. As we recover from the impact of COVID-19 on our economy and our lives, there\u2019s never been a better time to take a fresh look at your money, reset your goals and renew your plans for the future.<\/p>\n
For business owners, it\u2019s a great time to start thinking beyond your business \u2013 to how your personal finances are tracking and what you might need to do to get or keep things on track. It\u2019s easy to focus on your business finances \u2013 but all too often entrepreneurs neglect their own savings and wealth creation as they pour everything they have into their enterprise.

In addition to this there\u2019s no doubt that Australia\u2019s entrepreneurs are massively underinvesting in their own super \u2013 which is a big risk if your business sale doesn\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n Below we have pulled together some top tips on how you can build your wealth.<\/p>\n If you would like to discuss your businesses financial future call us today [phone]<\/span><\/p>\n *59%<\/span> Source: MLC <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Important information and disclaimer<\/span><\/p>\n This communication has been prepared by Bridges Financial Services Pty Ltd ABN 60 003 474 977 AFSL 240837 (\u2018Bridges\u2019) trading as MLC Advice, a member of the IOOF Holdings Limited ABN 49 100 103 722 (\u2018IOOF\u2019) group of companies (\u2018IOOF Group\u2019), registered office Level 3, 30 Hickson Road, Millers Point NSW 2000, for use and distribution by representatives of MLC Advice.
