Business Owners
Working in partnership
As a business owner, your personal wealth is dependent on the success of your business. With this in mind, we take a holistic and long-term approach to financial planning.
Bespoke Service
Goals-Based Financial Planning
Through our personal and goal-based approach, we discover your values and priorities. Once we understand your financial goals, we build a cohesive plan to help you to achieve the lifestyle you want both now and for the future.
When formulating a tailored financial plan for your future, we do not focus on the numbers, we focus on your goals. It is not about how much money you have to invest, it is about what you want to do with your money. When used effectively, money is a vehicle that enables you to achieve your goals and create the life you want.
Whether you want to give your children a head start in life, help them get onto the property ladder or plan for an early retirement, our goal is to make your goals attainable through effective long-term financial planning.
How we can help you
We support you by striking a balance between growing your business and growing your personal finances.
Your personal and business needs are likely to change over time. We work with you as your priorities evolve throughout different stages of life and business.
Whether you are looking for ways to minimise tax, protect your business, or you are thinking about your exit strategy; we can help.
Building & Preserving Capital
Minimising tax
One of the biggest financial challenges that business owners face is keeping tax to a minimum. We provide business owners with effective tax mitigation strategies so they can extract profits from their business, while minimising their personal and corporate tax liability.
The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. Tax relief is dependent on individual circumstances.
Cash & Borrowing
Excess capital
Keeping surplus funds in your business is key to resilience, risk management and growth. We support business owners with a range of cash management and investment solutions so excess capital can be put to good use.
The value of an investment with St. James’s Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.
Protection
Protecting your business
Running a business can be financially rewarding but also comes with great financial risk. As your business grows it is vital to have the right level of cover in place to protect you, your family and your business should the worst happen. We offer various types of business insurance to protect you in every eventuality, and importantly, bring you peace of mind.

Financial planning clinics
Through our financial planning clinics we offer your employees the opportunity to book a no-obligation 1-2-1 chat with us. We will visit your office for the day, so it is easy and convenient for your employees. It provides a chance for them to ask questions about their finances in a relaxed and familiar environment.
Through these drop-in clinics we aim to remove barriers and offer financial guidance, encourage people to think about their financial goals, and support business owners with wellbeing initiatives.

Exit planning
Having worked hard for years to grow your business to the point where you are ready to sell, it is important to get your exit strategy right. We support business owners throughout every stage of exit planning, from obtaining a valuation and maximising growth, to structuring the sale and managing the proceeds.
Exit strategies may include products and services that are separate and distinct to those offered by

What to expect
The enquiry process
A relaxed and informal chat to learn about you, your family, and your aspirations. We will discuss your financial position and any existing arrangements. With your permission, this may require us to write to your providers and request information.
We will review your current financial position and produce a plan to support your long-term goals.
We will discuss any recommendations which we feel are appropriate and together we will agree on a suitable strategy.
If you agree with our recommendations, we will implement the plan and welcome you onboard as a long-term and valued client.
Even the best laid plans require monitoring to ensure their success, this is why regular reviews are key. As your goals and circumstances change over time, we ensure your financial plan evolves too.
