Savings & Investments
Whether you are saving for a specific purpose or building a pot of money for use at a later date, we can help you make an informed decision based on clearly understanding your financial situation, your goals and how much risk you are prepared to take with your money. We can help you identify an action plan that is right for you, and, as your circumstances change, can help you review all of this on a regular basis.
Pension Planning
Pensioners now have complete freedom to draw down as much or as little of their pension pot as they want, anytime they want. But while retirement freedom creates more choice, it brings with it more risk. We also live in era where we live longer, are retired for longer, and need to make our savings last for longer. We can take you through the choices on offer, so you can approach retirement feeling more informed through the right preparation and advice.
Insurance
You are probably familiar with protecting your property using buildings and contents insurance, but what about protection of your greatest assets – you and your family? We can advise you on the options available for protecting your home and your standard of living in the event of an accident, a serious illness or death.
Business Planning
In our experience, firms that have a spectrum of quality group benefits in place, tend to have a higher percentage of long serving employees. We can provide expert help with structuring employee pension schemes and insurance solutions, considering your business’s financial circumstances and objectives.
