Business financial planning is about taking all the right steps to achieve your commercial and personal goals while protecting your business.

As a business owner you may have substantial financial assets, but little time to ensure your wealth is working as hard as you are. Or it may be time to plan your exit from a business you’ve devoted many years of your life to. Our team of fully independent wealth planners can provide strategic advice and practical plans for managing your wealth before, during and after the sale of your business.

Our highly qualified financial planning experts specialise in providing strategic and forward-thinking advice on business exit planning, business protection, tax mitigation, pension planning and retirement.

Our specialist business planning services

Our independent, fee-based wealth planning service starts with a strategic review of all your personal and business financial arrangements. We then build and maintain a long-standing relationship with you, reviewing your plan regularly to make sure it is still working as you wish.

As our personal wealth planners are truly independent, they will give you impartial advice on a broad range of solutions and choose the best options for your company’s needs.

Our business financial planning services include:

• Business protection – We can advise you on a range of protection services to help you deal with unexpected changes in your firm’s situation. Our independent wealth planners will help you decide what protection is most appropriate for your needs and put solutions in place to ensure the long-term survival of your business.

• Business exit planning - If you come to an exit, how would you plan for it as an individual? How much capital do you need to achieve your goals and objectives, following a sale or flotation? Our planners can help you to build a strategy that works for you, before, during and then after the sale of your business.

• Employee benefits - Your dedicated wealth planner will invest time getting to know you, your company, and your business goals, so they can advise you on the most appropriate employee benefits to meet your objectives.

• Directors' pensions - Pensions are still one of the most tax-efficient ways to save for retirement but making the most of the tax benefits is not simple. Your wealth planner will help you navigate the complexities and ensure you make the best decisions for your personal circumstances and your business.

• Investments - Good investment management can help you protect your future business and personal interests. Your wealth planner working with our investment management team can help you capitalise on suitable investment opportunities.

• End to end service – We know your time is precious, which is why we manage the entire process on your behalf. From liaising with product providers and investment managers to sorting out paperwork, we take care of everything and keep you updated.
