Your questions, answered

Scroll to discover the answers to some of our most frequently asked queries.

Question

When can I retire or step back from the business?

It’s worth thinking ahead, even if retirement is far off. We’ll establish where you are now, when you’d like to step back, and whether that means leaving the business completely or taking a smaller role. We’ll map out different scenarios and bring your plans to life.

Question

Am I taking advantage of all available allowances?

Managing finances is difficult as a business owner, and you’ll always wonder if you’re taking advantage of all the allowances and reliefs available. We’ll take a detailed look at your finances to ensure they work for you personally and professionally.

Question

What happens to the business if I become ill or pass away?

We understand it’s a subject you don’t want to think about in great detail, but it must be addressed. Leave it up to us to put protection plans in place that not only support your business, but your family too.

Question

Is it too late to start saving for retirement?

If you haven’t started yet, the next best time is now. Your retirement plan looks very different from that of an employee, and you must use tax-efficient strategies to build lasting financial security for the future. Plus, your future plans may depend on your ability to sell the business or draw enough from it over time.

No surprises

What trust looks like to our clients

Andy

It is a real weight off our minds to know that someone who knows what they are talking about is looking after the financial side of things. Tom’s encouragement that we can afford to take lots of holidays is a big win!

Jess

Working with Tom has given me confidence in investing, and I'm very happy with the performance of his recommendations. Instead of feeling lost or daunted I am supported and confident. You can't put a price on that.

Jonathan

Tom firstly helped me vocalise what my goals were and then reviewed my portfolio. He provided expert advice on where I could maximise my investments and put it in terms I could understand.

Linus

I can't recommend Tom of Arboretum enough. He has been instrumental in getting a clear view of mine and my wife's short, medium and long term plans in life and how we can achieve them.
