Business owners\u2019 and directors\u2019 personal financial planning is closely intertwined with corporate tax strategy \u2013 decisions on profit extraction, capital structure, equity incentives, and retirement planning all have complex tax implications. This service is dedicated to company owners, directors, and shareholders of online stores and SMEs, providing one\u2011to\u2011one financial consultancy and tax planning to help you achieve the optimal balance between personal wealth growth and business objectives. We act independently and objectively \u2013 we do not sell financial products \u2013 offering only the most beneficial professional advice.<\/p>\n
Profit Extraction Strategy Optimisation \u2013 We help you analyse and determine the optimal profit extraction mix among salary, dividends, pension contributions, and director\u2019s loans. Our analysis covers: comparative personal income tax and National Insurance impacts of each method; corporation tax deductibility; and cash flow sustainability. For example, we may recommend channelling some profits into employer pension contributions \u2013 reducing current income tax while building retirement wealth, with the company enjoying a tax\u2011deductible expense. We provide a written profit extraction strategy recommendation before the end of each tax year (by March) for implementation in the new fiscal year.<\/p>\n
Equity Structure Design and Capital Gains Tax Planning \u2013 If you plan to bring in new shareholders, grant equity incentives, transfer shares, or sell your business, we provide expert advice on equity structuring. This includes: ordinary vs. preference share design and rights; tax treatment of different share classes; eligibility assessment and claim for Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneurs\u2019 Relief); tax advantages of EMI (Enterprise Management Incentive) schemes; and CGT planning on business disposal. We help you legally minimise Capital Gains Tax, ensuring you retain as much value as possible upon exit.<\/p>\n
Dividend Policy and Retained Earnings Planning \u2013 We assist you in formulating a sensible dividend distribution policy that balances shareholder returns with reinvestment needs. Specific analyses include: cash flow feasibility testing of dividend payments; distribution plans across different shareholding percentages; impact of dividends on personal tax; and benchmarks for reasonable retained earnings. For multi\u2011shareholder companies, we can also help draft dividend clauses in shareholder agreements or design differentiated dividend policies.<\/p>\n
Retirement and Wealth Succession Planning \u2013 We provide integrated retirement and succession advice covering: contribution strategies and tax advantages of SIPP (Self\u2011Invested Personal Pensions); annual and lifetime pension allowance utilisation; tax\u2011efficient transfer of business equity to children; and application of Business Property Relief for Inheritance Tax (IHT) planning. We coordinate closely with your Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) to ensure all aspects of your financial plan are aligned.<\/p>\n
HMRC Tax Investigation and Dispute Support \u2013 If you personally receive an HMRC tax enquiry (e.g. regarding your Self Assessment, dividend income, or capital gains), we offer professional support \u2013 collating all required personal financial records, preparing formal responses to HMRC queries, and representing you in communications and negotiations. In cases of disputes or penalty assessments, we assist in preparing voluntary disclosures or appeals to seek the most favourable outcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
