Could SEIS help fund the next stage of your business?

A company can be profitable and still need investment to develop products, recruit a team or enter new markets.

SEIS can make that investment more attractive by offering tax relief to qualifying investors. But what businesses qualify, how much can you raise, and what does the process involve?

Our latest article explains the benefits for founders and investors, the main rules and the steps from HMRC advance assurance to issuing shares.

Do you put money aside for tax each time you take a dividend from your company?

If you use the same percentage you used last year, it may be time to check it. Dividend tax increased in April 2026, so your usual savings amount might leave you short when your tax bill arrives.

We’ve put together a short guide to what changed, how to keep on top of the bill, and whether directors should still use a mix of salary and dividends.

Most business owners assume that if their business is successful, they're becoming financially independent.

But are they?

I've met plenty of founders with profitable companies, healthy cash balances and six-figure incomes who still couldn't stop working if they wanted to.

Why?

Because business success and financial independence aren't the same thing.

One creates income.
The other creates choice.

The article below explores why so many profitable founders unknowingly build businesses that depend entirely on them, and why accumulating cash inside a company isn't always the same as building personal wealth.

It's a subtle distinction, but one that changes how you think about success.

At a certain point, retained profit stops feeling like security and starts feeling… stuck.

The business is profitable.
Cash keeps building.
But taking larger amounts personally starts to feel increasingly inefficient.

Which is usually where conversations around things like Venture Capital Trusts begin.

Not because founders suddenly want “tax schemes”.

But because they’re trying to solve a more uncomfortable question:

“How do I turn accumulated company profit into personal wealth without losing momentum to tax friction?”

This article looks at where VCTs actually fit and why they tend to be part of a wider extraction planning conversation rather than a standalone solution.

Most business owners know the tax rate changes once income goes above £100,000.

What many don’t realise is just how severe it becomes.

Between £100k and £125,140, you effectively lose your tax-free personal allowance, creating a hidden 60% tax band.

The result?

Many founders end up restricting their income, delaying dividends, or leaving money trapped in their company because they assume “taking more just isn’t worth it.”

But good tax planning isn’t about earning less.
It’s about structuring income properly and making decisions at the right time.

In this week’s article, I explain:
• Why the 60% tax trap exists
• The mistakes many founders make once profits grow
• Tax-efficient strategies that can help you earn over £100k without unnecessary tax leakage

Are you paying yourself the right salary as a director?

It sounds simple… but it’s one of the most common mistakes I see.

Too low, and you miss out on valuable tax reliefs.
Too high, and you could be paying unnecessary tax.

For most directors in 2026, there is a “sweet spot” (often around £12,570), but it’s not one-size-fits-all.

In this article, I explain:
✔ What the optimal salary actually is
✔ Why it matters
✔ How to structure your income properly

If you run a limited company, it’s worth a read.
