Business owners

Whether you’re looking to protect your business from the loss of a key person or simply looking at ways to maximise your income, we can help.

Use Your Business for Maximum Financial Benefit

Whether you’re looking to protect your business from the loss of a key person or simply looking at ways to maximise your income, we can help. Our expertise in wealth management, tax planning, and succession strategies can help you secure both your personal and business financial goals. 

As a business owner, entrepreneur, or self-employed person, you’re probably familiar with the financial aspects of running a business. But are you leveraging your business for personal wealth management and future financial security? 

Another consideration for business owners is whether you have the right protection in place. If you or another key member of the business should fall ill, or worse, are you certain that the business could continue to operate? Or that you and your loved ones would be provided for?

We understand that as a business owner, you already have a lot to do. Running your business and managing your home-life can be challenging. But working with a professional financial adviser can help to lighten the load.

Our independent financial advisers have worked with lots of business owners. We can help you to:
Protect your business
We’ll help protect your business from the loss of a key person, such as a sales director.
Protect your family
In the event of your death or long-term illness, we can help ensure that your family still benefits from the business.
Keep it in the family
We can advise you on how to structure your business to enable a seamless transfer to loved ones, minimising Inheritance Tax and ensuring its value is preserved.
Prepare for retirement
We’ll advise you on tax-efficient ways to use your business to build up a pension pot. Our advisers specialise in financial planning for business owners, helping you draw an income from the business when you retire.
Benefit from sale
If you decide to sell your business, we can advise you on effective ways to invest the proceeds to fund your next venture.
Work with professionals
We’ll engage with other professionals who support your business, such as solicitors and accountants.

Chris has provided peace of mind enabling us to now retire early. He has taken the time to get to know and understand us, helping us to develop and adapt our strategy. We have an open and transparent relationship with him which builds trust. He is personable and tailors solutions to our needs.

Amanda

I’ve been absolutely delighted with the advice and support I’ve received from Maxine Clarke. She took the time to understand my goals, explained my options clearly, and helped structure my retirement plans. I now feel fully informed, supported, and confident about my financial future.

Julie

Luca encouraged me to take a step back and look at the bigger picture – how much risk am I prepared to take, how much income do I really need for my day‑to‑day expenditures, what are my plans for retirement. Luca worked through all the steps of the process at my pace, patiently explaining all the jargon as we progressed.

Liz

Chris took the time to understand our goals, provided clear explanations of approaches and a thoughtful, well-structured follow up note. Chris' approachable nature and attention to detail was first class. Following our interactions we now have a much clearer understanding of the relevant aspects to our estate planning.

Karan

Liv patiently understood our circumstances and conducted the due diligence required to provide very transparent and exceptionally professional advice. He struck a great balance on long‑term investments, pensions, insurance and retirement. I found Liv very knowledgeable, confident, and personable.

Hernit

Tom expertly guided me through the complex and time-consuming process associated with consolidating several company pensions. Tom has also provided advice on a number of other financial benefits I was previously unaware of.

David

Ross gave me a lot of very useful information. He explains everything in a clear and concise way and doesn’t fill your head with jargon you may not understand. He keeps it plain and simple. Ross helped me understand how I could claim back overpaid tax and money I had been paying for a service with a previous pension adviser that shouldn’t have been charged.

Michael

From the initial meeting, George was able to understand my concerns and present options for how I could move forward. At no point did I feel any pressure, and I felt from the outset that I wanted to establish a long‑term relationship with George.

Nicholas

Russ guided me through the process of assessing current and future demands on my finances and the selection of appropriate pension investments. Throughout the process Russ has been very patient and explained clearly different options with their risk/benefit profiles. I have found his manner very supportive.

Linda

I had several meetings with Freddie to discuss my medium‑ to long‑term goals, my appetite for risk, the kind of retirement I would like and at what age. We then walked through my current finances in detail, and Freddie presented the gap between where I am now and where I would like to be, and proposed some changes that could help me achieve my goals in future.

Tony

Liviu has provided us with invaluable help regarding our pensions and how to best plan for our retirement. He has always made time to explain our options and fully answer any concerns we had. He has always gone the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable with the decisions we made and was endlessly patient.

Susan

I cannot tell you how much it has meant to have Russell Bruce’s advice. I no longer worry that I’m not doing enough to feel financially secure and confident about the future, and that has made a huge difference for me. I find him very easy to talk to; he has a lovely professional, friendly manner. I’ve already recommended him to a family member.

Lyn

I’ve been a client of FC for almost 10 years and it’s proved to be one of the best financial decisions I’ve made. The advice, care and detail given to me has always been fantastic both from my advisor Billy and the whole FC team. I have recommended their services multiple times before and wouldn’t hesitate again! A brilliant company!

Daniel

I asked Billy outright, if Flying Colours would make us that fee back in the first 12 months of managing our pensions. He told me it would and I’m happy to say he was right. We’ve got to know him really well and we completely trust the advice he gives us; advice which, over the years, has covered way more than just our pension.
