On this episode of The KeyHire Small Business Podcast, Corey Harlock sits down with financial planner Mike Milligan to talk through legal, practical tax strategies that may help small business owners keep more of their money and think more intentionally about long-term wealth. This is not a conversation about gimmicks or anything off the books. Early in the episode, Corey makes it clear: he wants to pay as little tax as possible, but he does not want to go to jail. That sets the tone for a discussion focused on legitimate strategies that many entrepreneurs may have heard about in passing but never fully understood or thought applied to them. Mike, who has spent 27 years in the financial industry, explains why so many business owners miss opportunities that are already built into the tax code. One of the biggest ideas in this episode is that many business owners are relying on professionals who are great at reporting what already happened but are not always positioned to help them plan ahead. Mike describes many CPAs as historians, and Corey connects that idea to something many owners know firsthand: a business can grow, become more complex, and still be using the same financial setup it had in the early days. That gap can cost real money. Mike breaks down several examples that make this episode especially valuable for entrepreneurs. He explains the Augusta Rule and how business owners may be able to rent their home to their business for meetings or events, with proper documentation and fair market support. He also discusses the family management company concept, including paying children for legitimate work and potentially using that income to help fund a custodial Roth IRA. Then he walks through the impact of business structure, including how an LLC with an S-corp election may create meaningful tax savings once income reaches a certain level. What makes this conversation work is that it stays practical. Corey keeps bringing the discussion back to the small business owner who is already wearing too many hats and does not have time to become a tax expert. Mike’s point is not that owners need to learn the entire tax code. It is that the right planning, the right structure, and the right team can create significant savings over time. As the episode shows, one strategy may not change everything on its own, but several smart moves layered together can add up in a big way. If you are a business owner, consultant, or entrepreneur who wants to stop leaving money on the table, this episode is worth your time. Listen in for a clear, engaging conversation on tax planning, business structure, and ways to move money more intentionally for your business, your family, and your future.
