Having had a collection of former workplace pensions that I had thankfully managed to amalgamate together before they suffered some significant losses, I discovered the power of SSAS when I first met with Paul.
Having had our SSAS for over 4 years now, we’ve utilised the incredible flexibility it offers to considerably enhance both our business profitability and SSAS values in that time, way beyond the sort of growth I’d ever experienced with any pension before.
The key with the SSAS for us is the unique level of control and investment authority that it offers. No other pension of course is designed specifically for business owners and we have simply chosen to make best use of the benefits that SSAS offers
We started our SSAS a number of years ago, when Paul introduced us to the incredible concept of SSAS.
As we hadn’t then heard SSAS or been educated in the ways of SSAS, We hadn’t previously considered using pensions at all with our business and we were blown away at the possibilities that SSAS offered and we have made very productive use of our SSAS within our business in the last few years.
We have worked closely with Paul over the years, and now also refer a number of our own clients over to Paul each year to help them become educated in the wonders of SSAS.
We’ve no hesitation in recommending Paul’s services
Launched over 50 years ago – yet so few people know about it..

What is SSAS?
SSAS – an incredibly well kept secret. Established in the UK In 1973, SSAS (Small Self Administered Scheme) is an Occupational type pension scheme, designed for businesses and their owners and directors.
SSAS offers far more flexibility and a wider range of benefits and options than any other UK pension.
SSAS allows business owners to use their pension plans and business in tandem to create robust long-term strategies for their pension, their business and their family.
Needing additional Capital for your business?
Every business needs Capital to grow and develop. SSAS can let you do just that with a source of Capital you maybe didn’t even realise you had. Become your own Lender
Sample SSAS benefits
Ability to contribute up to £500k per annum tax allowably from your business to your SSAS pension*
Creating an enduring tax efficient family trust of up to 11 members
Ability to lend up to 50% of the monies from your SSAS to your business for any commercial use
Ability to lend up to 100% of the monies from your SSAS to a third party unconnected business
Purchase / ownership of commercial property and land directly within a SSAS
Allowing the “pledging” or transfer of assets into the SSAS personally or via your business
*When making high value contributions, we always recommend having a specialist independent advisory report created to provide rationale and all calculations to verify and satisfy this process if HMRC were to ever query the contributions
Don’t be confused
SSAS v SIPP
Don’t be confused or miss out on understanding the very real benefits of SSAS, simply by misunderstanding the differences between SSAS and SIPP. Many people, Professional Advisers included, are often confused and unaware of the very real and distinct differences between SSAS and SIPP. They are absolutely not the same, and most certainly do not create the same outcomes. We will be happy to provide clarity on the generic structural and practical differences between SSAS & SIPP
Do you own Commercial Property or Land or are looking to buy either?
You’ll be especially interested in our presentation and weblinks here. This process and the benefits are virtually unknown to Accountants and Professional advisers, however all of the processes that are undertaken here are carried out by specialists and suitably qualified Professionals, and backed up with Professionally Indemnified (Insured) advice from those Professionals. That advice will be given by a range of Specialist Pension Solicitors, Chartered Tax Advisers, SSAS Technical experts, SSAS Professional Trustees and so forth and can be done in full collaboration with your existing advisers.
Please note that as at May 2020, the process of pledging existing property into SSAS is currently subject to review and new enquires in this respect will be held pending further guidance
