Being aware of available tax credits and incentives — like research and development credits and energy efficient equipment credits — can help lower overall tax liabilities. Strategic compensation structuring also can maximize tax advantages; trusts provide legal protection and asset management solutions.
Tracking expenses carefully and taking advantage of eligible deductions like home office costs and travel and entertainment expenses related to business travel helps limit taxable income. Establishing tax-advantaged retirement plans also can reduce taxable income; finally, effective succession planning facilitates transitioning ownership among family members while simultaneously lowering taxes – these and other strategies are key components for building financial resilience and long-term success.
Attractive to Investors
Entity selection involves selecting an appropriate legal structure for your business, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs and C corporations. Each offers different levels of liability protection, tax implications and ownership structures – it may even be possible to switch later but it’s easier – and cheaper! – to establish the ideal foundation early.
