As the New Year begins, it’s the perfect time to reassess your goals and refocus your priorities. For business owners, it’s a chance to take control of your finances, refine your strategies, and lay the groundwork for a more profitable and fulfilling year ahead.
At Avail Financial Planning, we specialise in helping business owners and professionals to make sense of the complexities that come with managing both personal and business finances. Whether your goal is to grow your wealth, secure your future, or simply ensure you’re making the most of your hard-earned profits, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
- As you review your achievements from last year, ask yourself:
- Are you confident that you’re extracting profits from your business in the most efficient way possible?
- Do your financial decisions support the lifestyle you aspire to? Whether that’s spending more time with family, upgrading your car, or planning for a luxury trip away.
- Have you taken full advantage of the tax-saving oppor- tunities available to you as a business owner?
If the answer to any of these questions is uncertain, now is the time to act. Financial success isn’t just about working harder, it’s about working smarter and aligning your money with your goals.
January isn’t just the start of a new year, it’s an opportunity to reset, both personally and professionally. Why is now a great time for you to take action?
- Time is ticking on tax opportunities: with the end of the tax year fast approaching, every decision you make now can have a significant impact. Don’t leave money on the table by missing out on valuable allowances, reliefs, or strategies.
- Prepare for the unexpected: the economic landscape is constantly evolving, and the unexpected can arise at any time. Do you have a financial buffer to protect your business and family? A proactive approach can help you navigate uncertainty with confidence.
- Turn ambition into action: the goals you’ve set for 2025 are achievable, but only with a plan. Financial clarity is the bridge between where you are now and where you want to be.
How Avail helps owners and professionals thrive
Running a business needs focus, resilience and innovation but no one succeeds alone. At Avail, we act as a trusted part of your team, offering tailored financial advice that empowers you to make informed decisions.
How do we do this? As part of your trusted team, we can help you to learn and understand how to extract money from your business and structure your income in an efficient manner, so you can enjoy the rewards of your hard work without unnecessary tax costs.
We can also utilise the power of pension contributions, as these are usually a tax deductible expense for your business and, did you know, as a business owner or professional, if your earnings are breaching the child benefit or £100,000 income threshold for free childcare hours, that we can also consider how pension contributions can be used as a tool to help you keep these benefits.
We pride ourselves on simplifying the financial plan- ning process for you. Financial planning shouldn’t feel overwhelming. We’ll take the complexities of pensions, investments, and tax planning and turn them into an easy-to-understand strategy.
Financial planning business update
I thought I would share some of our 2025 strategy with you. Amongst looking at tax efficiencies, costs and responsibilities within the business, we have some extremely exciting news for Q1. Following a fab 2024, but keeping it real, much like every other business we have experienced the highs and the lows, been through the lulls and the peaks of the economic activities that have been upon us, but have enjoyed working with our existing clients, professional connections and onboarding lots of lovely new clients to work with us.
In Q1, we will be welcoming a new member to the team (watch this space) and opening our new shiny office, which is a beautiful building with a wonderful high street presence.
