Dale Peatman, CLU, MSFS
Registered Representative

Offices in Wellesley, MA and South Dennis, MA

Hello, my name is Dale Peatman.  Welcome to my website. I am a financial professional for Baystate Financial.   Wanting to help people is what first attracted me to the financial services industry, and that is what has kept me going throughout my career.

I work to help clients protect themselves, their families and their businesses from the unexpected turns life often takes, and to help guide them toward a solid financial future. 

I offer a full range of business exit planning services with my main focus on financial security planning for business owners.

Planning a business exit is a process that begins usually three to ten years before actually leaving the business.  It is a multi-step process that begins with determining what a successful exit would be.   

Throughout the process, I will work with your team of skilled professionals including an attorney, CPA and business valuation expert.  All of these professionals have experience in exit planning issues and working with closely held businesses.  I can not only bring this team together, but can manage the whole process by providing all the people, tools and strategies necessary to achieve a successful business succession plan.  

 

 

 

Baystate Financial Services is a separate entity of New England Securities Corp.

I am licensed and registered to offer products and services in [MA]. Licenses and registrations will vary by representative and some representatives may be licensed and registered in additional states. Please contact this office for further information.

This article provides tips to the small business owner about how to shore up their online defenses.

Using a Variable Annuity for Guaranteed Income

One recommendation from the White House Task Force on Middle Class Working Families was for retirees to consider purchasing annuities to help provide a stable income. Investors who want their retirement portfolios to go the distance might want to learn more about variable annuities.

Deciding When to Begin

Waiting until full retirement age (or up to age 70) to claim Social Security may result in significantly higher monthly benefits. At age 62, the earliest age to claim Social Security, the amount received could be only 70% of the benefit received at "full retirement age" (which ranges from age 65 to 67 depending on year of birth).

Favorable Dividend and Capital Gains Tax Rates Extended—for Now

The 2010 Tax Relief Act extended the 15% maximum tax rates on qualified dividends and long-term capital gains through December 31, 2012. But without further legislation, dividends will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates and capital gains tax rates will return to 20% (23.8% for investors in the two highest tax brackets) in 2013.
