This option not only empowers you as trustee and member but also extends the possibility of involving other family members who can contribute to the SMSF.
Once funds are in place, strategic investment becomes the linchpin of generating returns. Each investment avenue holds its unique array of potential risks and rewards. Crafting an investment portfolio tailored to your aspirations is pivotal in shaping the sum you ultimately amass upon retirement.

IThe impact of a poorly planned succession can be substantial in terms of taxation, administrative costs, relationships and stress, so it is essential to plan for the future handover of your business. Those SME owners who opt for a well-planned succession enjoy greater benefits, both financial and personal.
Our succession planning consultants help SME owners plan and execute the smooth succession of their business, whether it be to new owners, the next family generation or upon their death or incapacity. As required, we draw on the advice of solicitors for legal issues.
