With all of the recent changes in DIR fees, we have been talking with our clients a lot about uncertainty and the "unknowns" that always seem to creep up when you least expect them. More specifically, how these unknowns can affect the value of their pharmacy in the future, and how they can be prepared for such changes.
One of the things you can always count on in the healthcare industry is change. Between an ever-changing government body, PBMs and innovations in medicine and technology - there is rarely a time when things stayed the same for long.
At Pharmacy401k, we work with independent pharmacy owners to help prepare for, and navigate, changes that not only affect their bottom line, but the future value of the business they have worked so hard to build. When it comes to the strategies we employ, below are the most common ones we have found help develop wealth outside of the pharmacy.
- 401(k) or other retirement plans
No two people are alike, so why would you settle for a cookie cutter 401(k) plan? Take the time to find a plan that is customized to your specific needs, and one that is beneficial to you and your team.
- Learn how to diversify wealth
Questions to ask yourself include; How Much? When do I start? What strategies should I follow? What order should I put them in? Below are some of the various diversification techniques we use (listed in no particular order) and keep in mind that some may or may not work for you and your needs.
- Tax Advantage Retirement Savings
- Roth Retirement Savings
- Taxable Investments
- Real-estate Investing
- Insurance
- Other Business Ventures - Develop and/or review your comprehensive plan to allow you to maintain your desired income during retirement.
