A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As they dedicate their love and lives to their households and make constant sacrifices for their family’s & children’s well-being, mothers never retire. For all these, moms deserve more thoughts besides during Mother’s Day. But should mothers also think about planning their own retirement — financially speaking? In this issue, as we give tributes to all mothers, we would also like to give thoughts to a mother’s financial freedom. Mothers deserve a worry-free retirement as well.

4 Things Mothers in Singapore Should Do to Plan for Their Finances

A 2015 survey showed that 75% of Singaporean mothers surveyed had not even thought about retirement, let alone started planning for it. If you’re spending all your energy running after the kids or making sure they pay attention during tuition, here four things you should not forget to do for your finances.

Mums, pay attention to finances

Financial experts advise that it makes sense for mothers (and just about anyone) to pay attention to their financial affairs. According to the US-based National Centre for Women and Retirement Research, nine out of 10 women will eventually have to manage their finances on their own at some point, due to circumstances ranging from leaving the workforce to care for a family member, to becoming divorced or finding themselves widowed.

Aaron Wan

I chose Michael to provide us with Business Consultancy Service as his role is vital to help us identify the incumbent and the need to address issues which may be detrimental to both business and family. Most importantly, not to procrastinate with whatever course of action that was needed to be taken. He listened, compiled our intentions and came up with a proposal stating the facts and legalities as best advice by the lawyers and accountants. In doing so, a non-biased agreement was drawn up to the best interest of all shareholders.

Jason (CEO of Stratgeist)

7 years into running my startup and growing it as quickly as I could into multiple countries, the concept of Business Continuity Planning had never crossed my mind. Until I met Michael Seow and Family , it never occured to me that there were ways for me to bullet-proof my business to survive beyond me. I’m really grateful that they started asking me questions that I had no answers for, but they had clear answer to. With their help, I’ve managed to put in place safeguards and policies that could secure the continuity of a business that I’ve invested so much time, work and effort to build, to ensure it remains resilient to major changes, even at the leadership and keyman level. If you are a business owner, regardless of the size of the business, I would highly recommend that you have a chat with them and unlock possibilities that you probably never knew existed.

Sam Koh, Founder & CEO of HQ

I've known Michael and worked with him for the past 15 years. His passion in learning and his deep knowledge in Estate Planning and Business Continuity Planning has been impressive. He was able to apply these knowledge for clients on the ground, thus making a real difference there. Michael has also been sought after as a trainer in these subjects.

Wee Han, MD Equal Brand

I have known Michael for a few years, probably 10 years or more. He had helped me with some succession planning matters, from a business, as well as personal context. His knowledge and skills in business succession planning/exit strategies, sets him apart from other advisers/consultants. I would highly recommend you meet up with him.
