Pensions Advice for the Self-Employed

Planting the financial seeds for your retirement

Only 20% of self-employed workers are paying into a pension in the UK

Pension planning when self-employed can be difficult, often on your own with no one to turn to.

It is probably at the bottom of a never-ending to-do list – working for yourself, there is always something more important.

But, the earlier you start with your pension funding, the greater the opportunities to enhance your income in retirement.

The next task is to find the right pension plan for you; that’s where we come in!

Plan For Your Future

How important is self-employed pension planning for your long-term future?

We’ve worked with 100s of self-employed individuals across the UK who are in a similar situation to you – that balancing act between securing income today while always having one eye on your retirement. With no employer to fall back on, you are the only source of income- it’s not easy, we get it!

As the cost of living in retirement continues to grow, it’s important that your pension/retirement funding reflects this – avoiding an unwelcome shock on retirement!

Speak to an expert

The value of investments can go down as well as up in value so you could get back less than you put in. You can’t normally access money in a pension until age 55 (57 from 2028) when up to 25% is usually tax free, the rest is taxable. Pension and tax rules can change, their benefits depend on your circumstances.
