In the hands of the entrepreneur money is a tool. While others see money as “time” or a way to keep score, and thus hoard money, entrepreneurs spend it – putting it to work. Debt; Equity; to the entrepreneur these are simply the means of extracting this tool from otherwise dormant assets.
Asset value has its place, but without liquidity it is very much like a hammer without a nail. So it’s no surprise that entrepreneurs are constantly looking for liquidity, and the financial markets scramble to find more and better ways to get it for them.
On Friday we will talk with business attorney and advisor Michael Cross about a source of capital that many have thought to be simply too costly to consider: the equity locked within self-directed retirement accounts.
These fallow fields may be made to yield fruit both before and during retirement – but only with careful planning. Tune in this Friday at 10:00 AM EST to join our discussion of how funds within qualified retirement plans can – in specific instances – be used to invest in your own business venture without incurring costly penalties.
