Business Planning
Business Planning
Business financial planning is the creation of a plan or plans that will help a business manage its finances. This includes but is not limited to forecasting revenue and expenses, as well as creating strategies for increasing profits and reducing costs.
Business financial planning can be done by business owners themselves, or by professionals such as business consultants or advisors.

Why is Business Planning Important?
Businesses of all sizes should have a financial plan in place in order to ensure success. A financial plan will help you map out your business goals and strategies, as well as track your expenses and revenue. There are many different aspects to business financial planning, including cash flow management, budgeting, risk assessment, and more. Working with a business consultant or advisor can be helpful in creating a successful financial plan for your business.
Aspects of Business Planning that Rehoboth Financial can assist your business with
401(k)
Offering a 401(k) retirement plan to your employees is a very important aspect of business financial planning. A 401(k) plan allows employees to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. This means that they will not have to pay taxes on the money they contribute to the plan until they withdraw it at retirement. Employees can choose to contribute a percentage of their salary to the plan, and employers may also make matching contributions. A great 401(k) plan can go a long way in helping businesses to retain their employees which helps the business have a lower turnover rate and save money that it would otherwise cost to onboard new employees.
403(b)
A 403(b) retirement plan is another type of retirement savings plan that can be offered to employees. Like a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) allows employees to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. However, there are some key differences between the two types of plans. For example, 403(b) plans are only available to certain types of organizations, such as non-profit organizations. A great 403(b) plan can also go a long way in helping businesses retain their employees which helps the business have a lower turnover rate and save money that it would otherwise cost to onboard new employees.
Executive Bonuses
Executive Bonuses are a good retention strategy where Business Owners create an annual bonus plan. This is an important part of Business Planning as it helps to motivate and retain top talent within the company. Businesses should consider how executive bonuses will be paid out, and what criteria will be used to determine who receives them.
Employee Education
Rehoboth Financial will spend the time to educate your employees on finances and the benefits you may be offering them. This will help to reduce financial stress for your employees, and allow them to make better decisions when it comes to their own finances. Employees who are financially literate are more likely to be productive and efficient in their work. This is also another great employee retention strategy because they will get access to Rehoboth’s Financial team of licensed financial professionals as an added bonus of being employed by your business.
Key Employee Insurance
It is also important to consider key employee insurance when creating a business financial plan. This type of insurance provides financial protection for your business in the event that a key employee dies or becomes disabled. Key employee insurance can help ensure that your business has the funds necessary to continue operating in the event of a key personnel loss.
Disability Insurance
Disability insurance is another type of insurance that can be included in a business financial plan. This type of insurance provides benefits to employees who are unable to work due to illness or injury. Disability insurance can help ensure that your employees are able to receive a portion of their income even if they are unable to work.
Group Term Life Insurance
Group term life insurance is another type of insurance that can be offered to employees as part of a business financial plan. This type of insurance provides coverage for a group of people, such as all the employees of a company. Group term life insurance can be used to provide financial protection for your business in the event that one or more employees die.
