Retirement insurance
If you are looking for a tax-efficient, reliable way to offer your employees more than the statutory benefits, Retirement Insurance can fund your ambitions. We’ll help you build the right deal with a reputable insurer, because there are various additional benefits to engaging an insurance provider instead of a bank.
Many companies choose to maximise their working capital by taking the so-called ‘unfunded’ method of planning for employees' retirements. This means a ‘pay as you go’ approach, with retirement contributions paid out of that year’s profits.
The opposite of that method is to tie up capital in a fund that has sufficient capital to cover all retirement payments you could be required to make.
Retirement Insurance can give the best of both worlds.
It also has Life Insurance built-in, to give additional peace of mind to serving staff.
