What if a single decision could save a business owner thousands in taxes every year?
On Grow Your Business and Grow Your Wealth, guest host Samuel Russell sits down with Rob Brand, tax strategist at Comprehensive Business Services in Newark, Delaware, for an eye-opening conversation on tax structure, S Corporation strategy, retirement planning, and what business owners get wrong about their numbers.

Rob breaks down how S Corporations really work, why most LLC owners are paying more than they should, how retirement accounts like SEP IRAs and self-directed IRAs can be used for real estate investing, and the huge difference proactive tax planning makes. He also talks about the ideal client he helps, the biggest mistakes he sees business owners make, and when to start planning for an exit. This episode is packed with simple explanations, clear examples, and strategies business owners can use immediately.
