Financial Advice for Business Owners
Here at The Private Office we can help business owners, self employed or entrepreneurs with a range of financial planning matters.
Building your business can take years of hard work and dedication.
As a business owner you tirelessly work to grow a legacy that will give you and your family financial freedom. We believe that financial planning is vital to this.
Our expert business financial advisers can help you accomplish these goals and work with you to protect the legacy that you’ve worked hard to achieve.
Why financial planning is important in business
Running a business will create financial challenges, but will also present many financial planning opportunities along the way.
You may be looking to sell your business and ensure that the proceeds can deliver your ideal retirement.
You could be seeking to protect your business from the death or critical illness of one of its key persons such as a director or a shareholder. Or, you may be looking to grow the assets in your business and want to determine the best strategy to achieve this.
The Private Office can help you with this important business financial planning. Whether that’s lifestyle cash flow planning to see what your financial future might look like, or if you are seeking a solution to protect your company and its people, ensuring business continuity.

Financial advice for retirement planning

We get asked three common questions from business owners planning for a sale and we can help with all of them here at The Private Office.
Life insurance to protect your business

We can help with a range of insurances to suit you, including; key person, co-shareholder and income protection.
