MOV Chamber of Commerce discusses retirement planning with Hall Financial Advisors
PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) -The Mid-Ohio Valley Chamber of Commerce held it’s monthly Lunch & Learn event with other chamber members.
The Commerce invited Hall Financial Advisors to the event to discuss about 401k and retirement plan options.
Lisa Parsons, the CEO and President of the MOV Chamber of Commerce, said these monthly meetings help as networking opportunities and different topics related to the chamber.
“One of our goals obviously our Members can learn about the different services and other businesses that are in the Community,” Parsons said. “For this topic obviously being about for your small business plan for retirement for your employees, it’s just very important to make those connections for our chamber members.”
Brennan McKean, a retirement plan specialist at Hall Financial Advisors, explains it is important to bring up the topic to local businesses owners about the options for retirement.
“What brought me out was we want to spread the word about retirement plans and different solutions that are available to the small, medium and larger size businesses,” McKean said. “The 401K landscape has changed over the past couple of years. There’s new products out that we want to make sure that business owners are aware of.“
McKean gives tips for how any small business owner can plan for retirement.
“The first thing is to make sure you’re contributing at least enough to get the company match,” McKean said. “As you approach retirement, I think your allocation should look a lot different than a 30-year-old. The last thing is putting together a plan. I think it’s extremely important as you approach retirement to have a plan built out that you can weather some of the unexpected things that happen in retirement.”
