info_outlineHow can businesses safeguard themselves against economic uncertainties using the 831B tax code? Join us as we welcome Van Carlson, the innovative founder and CEO of SRA831B, who unveils the potential of this tax code as a powerful tool for business risk management. From the complexities of the 1986 Tax Reform Act to the practicalities of building a financial reserve with pre-tax dollars, Van breaks down how businesses can manage self-insured risks effectively. Traditional insurance markets often leave gaps, but with 831B plans, companies can create their own financial buffer to tackle unforeseen expenses and maintain business continuity. We illustrate this with real-world examples, such as auto dealerships and warranties, highlighting how these strategies mirror the operations of large insurance companies and benefit industries across the board.
In our discussion, Van shares his fascinating journey from being a history teacher and football coach to becoming a trusted insurance professional dedicated to ensuring client success. The episode focuses on the importance of integrity, honest communication, and setting up sound risk management practices for small and mid-sized businesses. We emphasize educating business owners on the necessity of financial reserves, not just for physical damages but also for modern threats like cyber risks. By advocating for sensible regulations and tax incentives, Van and SRA831B are committed to equipping businesses with the tools they need to thrive amidst economic challenges, ensuring a legacy of sustainability and success. Tune in to discover how these insights can revolutionize your approach to risk management and secure your business's future.
