Owning and running your own business whether a sole trader, limited company or partnership is a constant juggling act
– it has many advantages, but you lose a lot of the benefits you get working for someone else…pension contributions, death in service, private health care etc.
Getting your financial affairs in order and making sure you have all the appropriate protection in place is just as important as bringing in new customers…a lot of it is down to ‘What If??’…but when you have worked hard to build up a successful business, isn’t it better to be safe rather than sorry?
We can help you plan for tomorrow, the next day and for the long-term, making sure you have things covered…literally. So, if things don’t go to plan and the worst should happen, you are suddenly unable to work due to illness or a key person integral to your business falls ills or dies, you have protection in place so your business, along with you and your family can survive.
Pensions
Did you know these can be classed as a business expense and are a tax efficient way of taking money out of the business for the future? Even a short gap in making payments into your pension can have a big impact in your end result – we can talk you through these and your options.

Do you drag yourself into work even if you feel rotten? A day off means no pay, and no sick pay – but what if you were off longer term? Income Protection can be paid for through your business account to provide you with sick pay you wouldn’t be entitled to otherwise. Could you and your business survive on no pay?
Find out moreShareholder Protection
Does your business have more than one owner? What would you want to happen in the event of death or critical illness…would you want you or your business partner’s beneficiaries coming into the business? The use of Share Option Agreements means on the death of a shareholder, a lump sum goes into the business to buy out their beneficiaries.
Advice relating to a Share Option Agreement will necessitate the referral to a service that is separate and distinct to those offered by St. James’s Place.
