Clear Thinking on Financial Advice for Business Owners
Clear, tailored advice to support every stage of your business and personal journey.
Running a business comes with big opportunities — and big responsibilities.
Whether you are self-employed, a company director, or growing a team, your finances are often more complex and closely linked to your business than you might realise.
The experienced and expert advisors throughout the TaxAssist Plus Financial Planning hubs below will help you bring everything together — your business, your personal finances and your long-term goals, so you can make confident decisions both now and in the future.
Your business is one of your most valuable assets — so protecting it properly is essential.
We help you put the right arrangements in place to safeguard against the unexpected, including:
- Business Protection
- Key Person Insurance
- Business Interruption Insurance
- Shareholder & Partnership Protection
- Personal & Director Protection
- Relevant Life Insurance
- Critical Illness Protection
- Income Protection (including Group Income Protection)
These are not just “nice to have” — they are essential foundations that help ensure your business can continue, adapt, or recover when challenges arise.
Attracting and retaining good people is more important than ever — and the right employee benefits can make a real difference.
We help you design and implement effective, tax-efficient workplace benefits, including:
- Workplace & Group Schemes
- Group Pension Schemes
- Death in Service Benefits
- Group Income Protection
Group schemes are increasingly becoming the norm — not just an added extra — helping you stay competitive as an employer.
If you already offer a pension or benefits package, we can:
- Review your existing scheme
- Assess costs, performance, and value
- Review fee structures
- Look to enhance employee outcomes
- Provide advice on the full range and structure of defined contribution and money purchase occupational pension schemes
- Aim to reduce administrative complexity and costs.
- Provide Group Personal Pension schemes (GPPs), Stakeholder schemes, Self Invested Personal Pension Plans (SIPP) and Small Self Administered Schemes (SSAS).
- Give clear guidance to employers on the tax treatment of pension contributions, identifying any changes to pension legislation and terms of pension provision for employees.
We can also run pension clinics to help your employees better understand and engage with their benefits — increasing both appreciation and impact.
We support businesses in creating smarter, more flexible reward structures that benefit both employer and employee, including
- Salary sacrifice arrangements
- Flexible remuneration packages
- Tax-efficient employee benefits
We will help you understand the tax treatment from both sides — ensuring everything is structured efficiently, compliantly, and in line with your goals.
As a business owner or senior earner, your personal financial planning becomes even more important — and often more complex.
We provide tailored advice across:
- Income & Tax Planning
- Director remuneration strategies
- Bonus and deferred income planning
- Maximising personal and business tax allowances
- Pension Planning
- Director pension contributions
- Annual allowance planning
- Long-term retirement strategy
- Investment Planning
- SIPPS
- Portfolio construction and management
- Investing surplus income
- Aligning business and personal wealth
- Planning for the future — and your exit
At some point, you may want to step back, sell, or pass your business on and we will help you prepare for that moment well in advance, with advice on:
- Exit and succession planning
- Capital Gains Tax planning
- Extracting value from your business tax-efficiently
- Integrating your business wealth into your long-term financial plan
We use cashflow and lifestyle planning to help you see how your business and personal finances work together — mapping out:
- Your income now and in the future
- Business performance and extraction strategies
- Your long-term wealth and retirement goals
It gives you a clear, visual plan — helping you make better decisions today with confidence about tomorrow.
We understand that every business — and every business owner — is different.
- That’s why our approach is:
- Practical and commercially aware
- Friendly and easy to engage with
- Tailored to your specific goals
Whether you are just starting out, growing quickly, or planning your exit, we are here to support you at every stage.
The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount invested.
