Business owners

We help time-short business owners to focus on their business and their personal finances.

Can your business benefit from financial advice?

In short, yes! Businesses can benefit from a multitude of services which include workplace pensions, group life protection and a range of other employee benefits designed to help attract and retain talent. We can also put the right protections in place to ensure that your business can continue to operate after the loss of a key person.

Succession and exit planning can be a key issue for business owners, especially if there is no obvious successor. We can help you to identify the best options for you to retire from your business in ways that can provide a tax-efficient income for your retirement.

We can also help you identify tax-efficient ways of saving into your pension, and there are a multitude of options for investing your profits if they are not needed elsewhere.

We can help you

Set up workplace pension schemes for your employees. We can also run on-site clinics to support employees with their personal planning.
Arrange group life protection policies.
Identify your options for exiting the business with an income or with a lump sum which will see you through retirement.
Put the right insurances in place for your business, for example, business loan protection, key person protection and shareholder protection.
Identify the risk of reaching the Pension Lifetime Allowance and find alternative, tax-efficient ‘homes’ for your savings and investments.
