Is your pension frustrating you and your ambitions?
Pensions are not normally the most exciting of subjects!
If you are a business owner you might consider your business to be your pension and ordinary pension investment choices may leave you uninspired.
What if there was a way of combining your business and pension goals in one wealth creation solution and with tax advantages as well?
As a business owner you can establish a pension scheme tailored to your own interests, that can collaborate with your business. This is called a Small Self Administered Scheme or 'SSAS' for short and it offers you a world of bona-fide possibilities. The choice of investments is decided by you within the scope allowed by HMRC without being limited by a 'Provider'. In addition you choose whether to apppoint Advisers and if so which ones.
There are of course strict rules set by HMRC, but if you follow the rules you might one day say that pensions are... interesting
