Salary vs Dividends: Optimizing Business Owner Payouts with Joe Curry & Braden Warwick
In this episode of Business & Exit Planning Simplified, Joe Curry chats with Braden Warwick from PWL Capital about how business owners can pay themselves in the smartest way. They break down the pros and cons of taking a salary, dividends, or using an Individual Pension Plan (IPP), a lesser-known but powerful option.
Braden shares what he’s learned from co-authoring a paper with Ben Felix, and they talk through real-life examples. You'll learn how taxes play into each option, what “notional accounts” are (in simple terms), and how a flexible income plan could help you get the most from your money, both now and in retirement.
