2. Common Worries of Business Owners
Worry about cash flow and taxes
Are confident in their own abilities to thrive, but they lack confidence in the economy and the government to support them
Worry about workload and people problems
Worry about health insurance and the related legislation and tax laws
Want to provide their employees with quality benefits, but need to balance costs
Worry about the succession of the business
According to a study conducted by the Sage Group, business owners tend to share common worries about their business, their personal lives, and their business’s longevity.
(Read worries or allow time for business owners to read through worries)
How many of you, as business owners, feel that you share one or more of these sentiments?
(Engage the audience with a series of questions. Examples to follow)
How many of you plan to retire?
Would you like to ensure that your business is compliant with health care regulations?
Have you thought about your business’s succession plan and also the protection of your employees during that time?

3. From the lunchroom to the boardroom
We like to think of this as protecting your business from the Lunchroom to the Boardroom… from the common meeting place at every business, the lunchroom, to the location where the powerful meet; the boardroom.
While comprehensively protecting you from the Lunchroom to the Boardroom, we are able to take care of the employees, the business and the needs of you as the business owner and your key employees.

5. Protection for You and Your Business
How do I protect my business and it’s assets if I were to die or become disabled?
How do I secure the future success (and vision) of my business?
How do I effectively plan for retirement?
(Read through the questions and engage the audience)
If something were to happen to you, have you given thought to what would happen to your business profits and operations? Have you thought about how you will provide for your family in the immediate time frame also into the future, when you may retire? Do you want the opportunity to make sure that your business plan and vision are fulfilled when you are no longer there?
Most importantly we can help YOU, the Business owner.
When you are worried about whether your business can survive and thrive.
Establishing a business succession plan that seeks to maintain your legacy and the value of the business into the future.
Ensure retirement income for yourself, your family, and your key employees with stable retirement plans.

Estate planning
FOR YOU (THE BUSINESS OWNER) and your family, Allstate’s planning strategies help you to devise a customized approach to meet all of your needs. This could mean:
Loss of Key Employee – Key Person Insurance protects a business in the event the key employee dies. It is important to have this insurance on your critical employees
Life Insurance – Life insurance is one of the best ways to ensure that your business can continue if you were to die
Business Succession Planning – You may have drafted a will as a part of your estate plan, but have you created an estate plan for your business? Creating a business succession plan will allow you to decide who runs your business after you no longer want to or no longer can.
Buy/Sell Strategies - A buy-sell agreement makes sense for any business entity, including corporations, partnerships, LLCs and even proprietorships.  How much you need a buy-sell depends on how many owners there are and who else might be waiting in the wings with a financial stake in the business.
Family Business Transfers - If you plan to transfer the business to family members or longtime employees, rather than sell to an outside buyer, weigh the options. Each has its own advantages.
Retirement Planning - Saving enough for retirement allows you to ensure that you can live the lifestyle you want.
Estate Planning – Estate planning is about control. Control over who gets your assets, when they get it and in what form. 6

7. Protection for the Value of Your Business
How do I guarantee that I have the appropriate coverage for my unique business?
How do I protect my business from a law suit or an accident?
What would happen to your business’s profitability if you lost physical assets due to an accident? Are you protected from being sued if something were to happen on your property? Do you have options to provide your employee compensation if they are injured on the job?
Secondly, we help your business:
Insure your property and the things inside it against damage or loss
Protect the business assets and your employees against any accidents or unforeseeable events
Create a strategy to manage the various liabilities of your business.

8. Protection for the Value of Your Business

Commercial Automobile
Commercial Property

FOR YOUR BUSINESS: Allstate Business Insurance offers property and casualty insurance strategies to help maintain the profitability and survival of your business.

In addition to the standardized protection, its important to think about the possible losses you could incur that are out of your immediate control. We can help make sure you have the proper Business Liability coverage so you can focus on the day to day operations.

Business Package Policy – ensures that the contents inside your business are protected from loss
Professional Liability – to help protect you from any potential law suits that arise from your work
Worker’s Compensation – provide extra protection for your employees in the chance they are injured on the job 8

9. Protection for Your Employees
How do I attract and retain the right employees for the business?
How do I provide quality benefits for my employees while balancing costs?
How do I minimize the impact of health care reform while still protecting my employees?
Providing a voluntary benefits offering to employees is a way to attract and retain your talent.
Voluntary benefits, such as critical illness, accident, and disability insurance can be offered to employees as voluntary benefits, at no cost to the employer. If the employee elects coverage, there will be a direct payroll deduction.
Health Care Background/Comments:
In 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act. Current and future Healthcare Reform Acts
have a great impact upon your business taxes and your employees. My Agency works with a Benefit Specialist from Allstate Benefits to help you understand the current health care reform and how you can help minimize the impact of health care reform while still protecting your employees. 9
