There\u2019ll be champagne popping, late nights fuelled by adrenalin and excitement, and the entrepreneur\u2019s conviction that they\u2019ve got the secret to beating the competition.<\/p><p>However, the dream soon turns into reality, as workdays get longer, extending into evenings and then nights. Worry can be 24\/7. It stops being fun and starts becoming a grind. \u201cWe see it time and time again,\u201d explains Bradley Adams, Head of Business Financial Planning at Pinnacle Wealth Management LLP.<\/p><p>\u201cBusiness owners start out with an expectation of their ideal working week. But this deteriorates quickly into a \u2018head down\u2019 reality. There\u2019s no time to think ahead. They take the minimum income out of the business for fear of the tax bill at the end of the year. The carrot on a stick is that magic moment when they sell their business in 10 or 20 years\u2019 time.<\/p><p>\u201cA smart business with an established financial planning expert doesn\u2019t need to look like that. We work every day to move our business clients from a position of \u2018just being\u2019 to \u2018fulfilling\u2019.
