Congratulations Baby Boomer, you are finally ready to retire, or perhaps getting ready to retire! You’ve worked hard and prepared financially for this long awaited opportunity. Now that it is here, or getting closer to the time, you may start to wonder what you are going to do with all of your new found freedom. Days filled with golf and travel sound appealing, but for how long? If you don’t have long-term plans on how to spend your retirement, it may start to become an overwhelming question of “what’s next?”
You may have spent your career working for someone else, doing something that you may not have loved, but it payed the bills and provided. Now that you are retiring, you may have the opportunity to pursue other professional endeavors and something you are more passionate about. Just because you are retiring doesn’t mean that you have to take yourself out of the game, it just means you can now purse a different avenue of playing it. This may be your golden opportunity to invest into a business; to retire inspired!
In recent years, we’ve seen more and more retirees using their retirement as an opportunity to invest in a business and do something they love. Many retiring Baby Boomers feel as though they still have some good years left in them, and some great ideas that have yet to be tried. They still have the energy, and now the available free time, to peruse something that they’ve always enjoyed and dreamed of accomplishing. By utilizing the years of skills and experience they have attained while working for someone else, they are applying their knowledge and expertise to their own businesses. Becoming the own boss!
For others, the inspiration for investing into a business after retirement comes down to money. A retiree may desire more income to help their retirement savings last longer, or have greater financial flexibility. However, going back into the workforce and working for someone else may not sound very appealing after the mindset of retirement settles in. Business ownership may be a great option for those retiring Baby Boomers who desire to have the freedom, with some additional income to enjoy their retirement years.
Investing in a business during retirement can offer many benefits. Done properly, it can not only inspire you professionally and personally, it can also help make your retirement savings stretch further. If you are interested in investing in a business, now is a great time to research your options. However, the key to being successful is doing it properly, and it may not be in your best interest to go at it alone. A business broker can be a great asset to you, and your wallet, when looking into prospective investments for you. Based on your wants and needs, they can assist you in seeking out the best options for you.
