Clarke Robinson was established by Steve Robinson to provide a specialist pension advisory service based on a lifetime experience of explaining Pensions in Plain English. Steve has worked in pensions since 1977 working with and advising people in business on their own arrangements and those of the people they employ.
My business has had a good year but I don't want to commit to an expensive pension plan only to be penalised when I have a bad year and can't meet the cost. What should I do? Penalties can occur when you break a contract. The simple answer is to make sure the contract you make does not commit you to maintaining the same level of pension contributions in the future.
When you run your own business then pensions are one of the things you would rather not think about. Over the last 30 years I have advised people at all stages of their business and life stages and have some interesting observations gathered over the years. If the next generation want to take over you can't really sell it to them and they have to keep you on with a salary.
Directors have the ability to take the greatest advantage of pensions legislation and the tax breaks offered by the government. A person who has sufficient income in retirement is not going to be a burden on the State so the goverment does everything it can to encourage people to save for retirement.
Almost all the enquiries we receive now are how to wind-up a company scheme with the least possible damage and impact to the business. All too frequently these focus just on the cost whilst ignoring the effect on the morale of the workforce. This is an issue which needs to treated with care, there is no point saving money if the effect is to alienate the people who are vital to future success.
