Corporate Layoff Leads to New Business Ownership

• 

Richard Smith, Owner

I thought this would be a good way of both earning a living and giving back to my community at the same time.

Chester, N.Y. (PRWEB) May 15, 2014

Richard Smith had worked as an Information Technology Auditor for over 25 years when he was laid off.

“It was difficult finding work, so I thought, ‘why don’t I just create my own job?’ by starting a business,” said Smith. “I also want my kids to see that even though things don’t go as planned in life, you can always adapt—switch gears if necessary and do something new.”

Smith began working with a franchise consultant and researching his options. He landed on Griswold Home Care because of the valuable service they provide to the elderly and those who need special assistance. “I thought this would be a good way of both earning a living and giving back to my community at the same time,” said Smith.

At the suggestion of his franchise consultant, he used Guidant Financial’s 401(k) rollover service to fund his new business. He explains, “In doing this, I’m not impacted by early withdrawal tax penalties, since the funds are rolled over as an investment in my company stock.”

His new business features a service that allows those in need to continue living and celebrating life from the comfort of their own home, including both professional and informal support networks.

In his spare time, Smith spends time playing the guitar and even boasts a home-based recording studio where he plays and rehearses.
