Personal and comprehensive financial planning for an owner managed business

Posted 19.06.2024

A case study of how we helped a business owner create a more secure and clearer path towards retirement

THE CHALLENGE

Sue owns a successful business supporting companies who distribute educational supplies across Europe. The business has been owner managed by Sue for 20 years, but she was becoming concerned about what would happen to her and the business when she comes to retire.

Sue was looking for a financial adviser to deliver expert advice, tailored to her unique needs to help ensure she was in a financially secure position as she approaches retirement.

THE SOLUTION

We took the time to really get to know Sue, understand what was important to her and what she wanted in the future. We were then able to establish clear financial goals, including recommending a diverse range of investment portfolios, managing the wealth within her business and creating a robust retirement strategy.

Our experience working with many business owners meant that we could guide Sue on some complex financial decisions she needed to make, from tax efficient advice on profit extraction and selling an investment property, to investing in a new motorhome and buying an electric car through her company for tax efficiency.

An ongoing, trusted relationship
