Knowing your numbers, valuation, forecast, and financial independence

Overview

If you own a business and want to plan for your financial future, you need to understand your money situation. That means figuring out how much money you’ll make from things like stocks and real estate, and how much your business is worth if you sell it. To do this, you might need help from a financial advisor or business broker.

Once you know these two numbers, you can figure out how much money you’ll need to live the way you want to. You can also decide if it’s better to sell your business or keep running it. This will help you plan for your retirement and make sure you have enough money to be financially independent.
