Speaker Adrian Murphy
Adrian will look to talk about the benefit of wealth extraction throughout the life of your business, the value of branding and, ultimately, your exit value.
Are your personal and business objectives aligned in a way that relates to your exit strategy?
Murphy Wealth looks after the individual’s financial needs and delivers on your personal objectives
Murphy Advisory looks after the individual’s business to unlock its potential
All geared around driving value whether that is to you as an individual or as business owner/manager
How do you create value through the life of your business and how do you extract the maximum value when you exit the business?
Some common misconceptions are….
Single asset class investment is risky look to have amore balanced portfolio
The business is flying now but that won’t always be the case – you need a fall back position
Can’t necessarily access the value at the point you need it
If you leave money in the business it becomes part of your cash flow which isn’t necessarily the most efficient way to use that asset

But there are reliefs available
If you’re doing well / Make profit you pay tax
Is the excess money on the business being used efficiently to generate a return?
Diversify your income as well as your assets. Multiple income stream reduces risk so why put all your eggs in one basket
What do you need to do to maximise the value you create
What’s your magic number? What do you need to live the life you want when you retire
What's the real value of that number is?
Selling your business for / you need for your retirement – why?
When do you want to retire
Do you have a plan to deliver it
You need to think about it today and not when you want to sell
Probably the most important thing to consider at this stage, is the life you want to lead. Frequently this is where planning goes wrong as your future gets based on the lowest amount of capital and income you can live on. It’s obviously important to have income to cover life’s essentials, but is the minimum level of income really going to provide you with the life you want? You worked hard for a long period of time, so isn’t it time to think about enjoying yourself more? So, be honest with the life you want as there’s a chance it might just be available to you.
