Most business owners are hyper-focused on growing their business and legacy. But at some point, they must consider a plan for retirement. That’s why it’s important for business owners to begin thinking about how Social Security fits into their retirement planning. Social Security benefits are part of the retirement plan of almost every American worker – including business owners.
Since there are specific rules for business owners, they should speak with a financial advisor or accountant be- fore applying. One of the biggest mistakes business owners make – aside from starting retirement planning too late – is not having a plan at all. This is where an expert can give sound advice on how to navigate retirement.
Business owners can visit www.ssa.gov/prepare/plan-retirement to determine eligibility for retirement benefits as well as get a benefit estimate. Our publication, If You Are Self Employed, at www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05- 10022.pdf, provides important information about Social Security taxes for business owners as well as how to report earnings. Don’t delay, start your retirement planning today!
