Save Tax
The receiver of revenue is your partner in life and death. Tax evasion is illegal, but you have to structure your affairs in such a way as to pay the least amount of tax. A significant part of the business owner's financial plan is taxation, continuation, estate planning, and growing the business. A business without access to finance will find it difficult to grow and expand.
Most business people I have met never thought about their exit strategy.
