The Wealth Gap

Find your gap in about a minute.

Work is optional when what you own can pay for the life you want. Take that amount, subtract what the business and your personal assets are worth, and what remains is the gap.

The service

The Owner’s Wealth Blueprint

One plan that treats your business and your personal wealth as a single balance sheet, then shows the path to close the gap. It is built in ORA, the Owner Retirement Analyzer, which values the business the way owner-operated companies sell and shows what you would keep after fees and taxes.

Kept separate. Investment management, personal financial planning and company retirement plans are separate from the Blueprint, each with its own fee. The Blueprint stands on its own.
  • Your Wealth GapThe amount that makes work optional for you, and how far you are from it today.
  • Business value and taxes on a saleA value estimate, not a certified appraisal, and the taxes tied to selling, so you see what you would keep.
  • An investment strategy to close the gapHow your money should work alongside the business to get you there.
  • A plan and a timelineThe specific moves, in order, with a realistic timeframe.
