Top Rank Advisors, a financial services firm based in Raleigh, North Carolina, has launched a specialized planning initiative aimed at addressing retirement, life insurance, and estate structuring needs for small business owners. This development represents a strategic step in the firm’s continued efforts to support closely held business operations with forward-looking planning solutions.
The initiative is being led by Will Lane, a senior advisor with over 25 years of experience across the investment, banking, and insurance sectors. Backed by a national network of financial, legal, and insurance professionals, the program helps business owners navigate the complex planning decisions that arise when transitioning from active operations to long-term succession planning.
According to Lane, the initiative was developed to respond to consistent inquiries from business owners seeking ways to approach long-term planning while balancing the operational demands of running a company. “This initiative is focused on supporting small business owners through structured planning. The goal is to offer guidance that aligns with both professional objectives and long-term goals,” said Lane.

The firm’s leadership notes that this program also reflects broader trends within the financial services industry, where business clients are increasingly seeking integrated planning approaches that incorporate both business and personal financial considerations.
The initiative is part of a broader expansion of services by Top Rank Advisors, aligning with the firm’s long-term strategic priorities. These include deepening advisory support for professionals navigating retirement transitions, and fostering internal collaboration with legal and insurance partners to ensure consistency in execution.
Top Rank Advisors continues to develop resources designed to respond to emerging needs within the small business community. As economic conditions, tax codes, and market dynamics evolve, the firm remains focused on adapting its service model to provide relevant, informed guidance.
