Business owners

Your commitment to your business might have meant you’ve not been able to give your personal financial plans as much of your time and focus. This can be a worry when you know that planning is the key to success.

Whether you’re looking for some help planning an exit strategy, retirement or business sale, or you want to explore strategies for taking money out of your business more tax-efficiently, we can help by providing joined-up, holistic financial planning services that align your business and life goals.

Here’s how we will help you

We always tailor our work to clients’ specific personal goals, aspirations and circumstances. However, that work will broadly include:

01

Planning your future

By exploring questions such as “Why are you in business?” and “What is your end game?”, we can help you sharpen your focus and find solutions that deliver on both your unique business and personal goals. We are also happy to collaborate with your other professional advisers to provide “joined-up” working and “big picture” planning.

02

Tax planning

By looking at your allowances, your retirement planning, and your business taxes, we will help you structure your finances tax-efficiently, identify any previously missed tax-planning opportunities, and build a strategy that allows you to enjoy the lifestyle you want without damaging your business goals or incurring an unnecessary tax bill.

03

Planning for sale

You may still be mulling over your options or midway through a sale process. Wherever you are currently, we will help you work out the price you need to obtain to achieve the lifestyle you want post-sale and together build a roadmap that allows you to confidently move on to the next stage of your life.

04

Retirement planning

You may have questions about retirement and what that means for your business. Questions such as “Will I need to sell my business to achieve the retirement lifestyle I want?” and “What are my options for my business when I retire?” With the help of cashflow modelling software, we will create a vision and a plan for the retirement you want to achieve.
