“Being a ‘whole of market’ broker means we offer products from a range of providers.” makes, so it’s vitally important you have the right one. And we can help you search for the best deal and ensure you’re not paying over the odds. Mortgages A mortgage is typically the largest financial commitment anyone ever We have access to major lenders, such as banks and building societies, as well as deals which aren’t normally available to consumers directly. We’ll use our knowledge and expertise to search through hundreds of mortgages to find the one that’s perfect for you. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Insurance and protection

Building an investment portfolio Whether you’re saving to buy a house, pay for a wedding or the holiday of a lifetime, accumulate rainy day funds or simply provide a more secure future for you and your family, we can help you construct an investment portfolio that meets your objectives. We’ll recommend the most suitable investment solutions for your particular circumstances taking into account a range of factors including your life stage and attitude to risk. Our recommendations could include investment bonds, unit trusts or even the latest WRAP and asset management systems that combine a range of different funds to meet your specific needs. And it goes without saying that we’ll help you maximise any available tax allowances, such as Individual Savings Accounts, thereby enabling you to shelter some of your savings from the taxman. The value of investments and the income from them may go down. You may not get back the original amount invested.

We know insurance isn’t an easy subject to think about but, once arranged, these products can provide financial protection for you and your loved ones against life’s unfortunate events. As part of our service we’ll assess your individual circumstances and make sure you have the right cover for your specific needs, giving you peace of mind about the future. There’s a wide range of insurance and protection policies available. As well as home insurance, there’s a suite of protection products including life cover which pays a lump sum to loved ones should you die, critical illness cover which pays you a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with certain illnesses and policies designed to pay an income if you’re unable to work due to an accident or sickness. Taking out the right insurance could be the best choice you ever make. Protection with no investment element will have no cash-in value. If premiums are not maintained then cover will lapse.

Our areas of expertise

Retirement planning Retirement should be a time of enjoyment free from money worries and our retirement planning service aims to ensure this can be the case for you. Whether you’ve just started work and are looking to set up your first pension, approaching retirement or already there, we can review your existing arrangements, identify gaps and ensure your plans can deliver the type of retirement you deserve. And, because we’re not tied to one provider, we can shop around to find the most suitable retirement products from right across the market. As part of our service, we’ll take you through all your options, including State support, to ensure you take full advantage of all financial benefits available to you. We’ll also help you make the right choices when you access your pension funds in order to ensure you minimise tax implications and maximise the benefit you ultimately

Wealth management We also provide a wealth management service for clients with at least £250k of invested assets. Such clients typically have relatively complex financial affairs requiring an attentive service. This often involves us working closely with other professionals in order to preserve clients’ wealth and minimise the amount of tax they pay on investments. Having the right cover could be the best investment you ever make. The value of investments and the income from them may go down. You may not get back the original amount invested. “No matter your investment expertise, we can recommend an appropriate strategy for you.”

Inheritance tax planning

Taxation planning The tax system provides a number of reliefs and allowances which individuals and businesses can use to significantly reduce their tax burden. Careful planning though is crucial in order to ensure you take full advantage of these opportunities and thereby minimise your tax bill in a legitimate and legal way. “We’re here to help you make the most of your available allowances.” With our expertise, we can review your current situation and then put together an effective plan to help you make the most of any opportunities available to you. By getting expert help, you should be able to keep more of your money away from the taxman and spend it on those things that you want to instead. Tax treatment is based on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

Financial advice for your business We can also provide specialist financial advice and support for your business as well. For instance, we can help you select appropriate insurance and protection products, covering areas such as employers’ liability insurance, key person insurance and business interruption insurance. Workplace pension schemes are another area where we can provide expert support. The introduction of auto enrolment means every employer in the UK now has a legal duty to put certain staff into a pension scheme and contribute towards it. We can help you set up and run an employee pension scheme that meets the Pensions Regulator’s stringent requirements and fits the specific needs of your business or, alternatively, review your existing arrangements.

Our inheritance tax planning service is designed to keep your hard-earned cash in the family and ensure your loved ones avoid a hefty tax bill on anything you leave them. Through careful planning that’s tailored to your individual needs, we can help you mitigate inheritance tax, or avoid it altogether, by arranging investments into trust, using life policies, changing your will, or through other methods. Many people still fall into the trap of thinking inheritance tax won’t affect them. However, anything you leave over your IHT allowance is charged at 40%, which means a significant amount of money could potentially be redirected to the taxman. As with most tax issues, the inheritance tax regime is relatively complex and prone to changes over time. But our experts are on hand to explain the system to you and enable you to minimise any financial impact on your loved ones. Tax planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

receive from your pension. A pension is a long-term

investment and the fund value may fluctuate and can go down. Your eventual income may depend

upon the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation.
