Using a self-directed IRA to acquire private business offerings presents the opportunity to take advantage of a potentially prosperous investment and to grow wealth for retirement.
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) October 31, 2014
Self-directed IRAs are a popular tool that investors use that gives them control of their own investment funds and the freedom to choose their own assets. Many self-directed plan owners put their funds to use investing in private business. This webinar features guest speaker Robert McBurney who has over 30 years of experience as CEO of a publicly traded Fortune 500 company. He is a business owner in several successful start-up companies and an industry consultant.
“We are pleased to have someone with the reputation and expertise of Robert McBurney involved in this webinar,” says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Services in Florida and Advanta IRA Administration in Georgia. McBurney is a successful business builder and will discuss entrepreneurship with a special emphasis on business ownership in the franchising marketplace. Scott Maurer, director of business development with Advanta IRA in Florida and Georgia, will briefly discuss how retirement funds can be used to invest in private business opportunities.
Sometimes individuals seeking investment opportunities may not think of using retirement funds to acquire assets—especially in the area of private offerings or entities. “Using a self-directed IRA to acquire private business offerings presents the opportunity to take advantage of a potentially prosperous investment and to grow wealth for retirement,” says Callahan.
Private businesses are a great example of the different types of alternative investments available for those who self-direct their retirement accounts. Common examples of private placements include stock in a local community bank, a venture capital investment in a startup tech or medical firm, a hedge fund or even a group of private investors pooling capital in an LLC to make a larger real estate purchase. There are many other options available for investors who deem private placements are the right type of investment their portfolios.
This webinar is designed for investors interested in investing in private business options with self-directed IRAs and individuals of all levels of experience are invited to attend.
