Corporate Financial Planning
Corporate financial planning is about far more than arranging employee benefits and pensions. It involves making certain you've taken all the right measures to be in the most suitable position to achieve your business goals and the necessary steps to protect your business.
Below are just a few of the areas that we can help your business with:
The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate tax planning and some types of employee benefits (i.e. Auto-Enrolment in a workplace pensions).
Corporate Protection
Shareholder Protection
The legal right and financial ability to purchase the interests of another shareholder following their death or serious illness.
Partnership Protection
A policy that enables surviving partners to buy out a proportion of the business that was owned by the departing/deceased partner.
Key Person Protection
Providing critical Illness cover for essential team members can help ensure the continued success and stability of your business. Critical illness cover is a policy that can help cover the direct and indirect costs associated with the serious illness or injury of a key worker.

Auto Enrolment
Automatic enrolment is the new pension reform that has been introduced by the Government. Enrolment is phased depending on the size of your company, with all enrolled by February 2018
Auto enrolment will encourage all employees to contribute to a workplace pension scheme in an attempt to move away from a reliance on the State pension. Employers have a real responsibility to ensure that their employees make adequate provision for their retirement income.
Developing the right strategy for implementation will ensure that you are not only compliant with the new legislation, but that auto enrolment has a positive impact on your business and staff.
