Why Women Small-Business Owners Should Prioritize Retirement Planning

Written by XML Financial Group | Mar 5, 2025 1:30:00 PM

A recent survey revealed that 54% of women small-business owners don’t believe they will ever retire, compared to 44% of their male counterparts, highlighting a significant gap in retirement planning. Despite challenges like the gender pay gap and caregiving responsibilities, retirement planning remains crucial for all business owners regardless of gender. A well-thought-out strategy helps plan for financial security, supports business succession, and sets a positive example for employees. Female small-business owners can bridge this gap by starting to save now (if they haven’t already), creating a budget, establishing a retirement plan from the numerous types available for your business, and seeking financial education from a wealth advisor experienced in business retirement planning. By taking proactive steps, business owners can help work toward a secure financial nest egg future and help employees build their own retirement savings.
