What is an IPO, Anyway?
An initial public offering (IPO) is the term used when a privately-held company offers stock for the first time. IPOs are more common among newer companies, but older privately-held companies may decide to "go public." A start-up company may use an IPo to raise capital to see it through a critical early development phase. On the other hand, a larger, more mature company may decide to use a stock offering to raise cash (rather than borrow) for expansion or to acquire a new business, particularly if existing debt levels make conventional borrowing difficult.

Put Your Future in Capable Hands

A financial advisor you can trust; an organization you can count on. With Best Times Financial Planning, you get both. Here's how we work:

  • We identify your needs and objectives.

  • We fully analyze and evaluate your personal situation.

  • We give you input and advice to help you make timely, informed decisions.

The benefits of this approach are obvious. You gain a greater appreciation of your financial situation and the impact that various options can have on the financial well-being of you and your family. This places you in a better position to make wise decisions, and makes implementation much easier.

We're with you all the way.

Many of our clients have long-term advisors - an attorney, a CPA, a broker - they already trust. We supplement and coordinate the work these advisors do for your estate, retirement and business succession planning. Specifically, we look at all areas of your financial plan and pull them together in a cross-disciplinary manner to most effectively help meet your financial security and asset preservation needs and objectives.

No more guesswork.

Without the help of an accurate, focused and long-range financial model, you aren't planning. You're just guessing.

We have access to proprietary software that allows us to create an individualized "financial condition model" for you. This model can reveal:

  • The long-term adequacy of your current financial resources and plans.

  • A comparative analysis of financial planning strategies you're considering or already have in place.

  • The impact of future changes in your personal or family situation, asset values, taxes or inflation.
