An increase in income tax rate means you'll pay a higher percentage of your income to the government. This directly reduces your disposable income, the money you have left after taxes for spending or saving. This can make it harder to afford basic necessities, save for retirement, or invest in your future.
One of the biggest disruptions to family-owned companies is a lack of clarity regarding shareholder liquidity.

The webcast will cover common liquidity alternatives and options, the design of a dividend policy, and financial modeling required to support the development of a shareholder liquidity plan.
