Achieving a successful handover of your business to a family member typically comes down to three aspects: early planning (ideally five to 10 years in advance), having a full understanding of the value of the business, plus open communication with all involved parties to ensure fairness.

It’s not just about passing on ownership of your company. Succession planning is also about the future leadership and management of your business. And these things won’t necessarily lie in the same hands.

Developing the next directors and leaders for your business, if they are to stay within the family, could take several years. Take a look at our blog 'Keeping it in the family: planning ahead for business succession' to find out more: https://bit.ly/4gFbaqt 🍍

There are many reasons for not making a Will. These range from ‘not getting round to it’ to thinking we’re too young to need one. There is also a common assumption that partners and children will automatically receive their fair share.

However, with family structures more blended than ever before, failing to prepare for who should benefit from your assets could mean your wishes are not realised. Find out full details in our bog 'Where there's a Will, there's a say': https://bit.ly/4wWpT6w 🍍

Making decisions about your wealth at such pivotal points in life can be stressful and overwhelming. So how can women be confident they’re making the right choices for their future when their finances change overnight? Click the link to read full details & guidance: https://bit.ly/4g56ISA 🍍

For many people in their 30s and early 40s, life can feel like a constant balancing act – managing a mortgage, building a career, raising a family and trying to keep up with day to day costs.

With so much focus on the here and now, thinking about long-term protection can easily fall down the priority list. This could leave many financially exposed to unexpected events.

Millennials, those aged around 30 to 45, are at a defining and often stressful stage of life. Read our full article 'Are millennials failing to protect their future?' and find out full details: https://bit.ly/3TyKfEG 🍍

The Bank of England (BoE) has voted to keep the central interest rate at 3.75% as had widely been expected.

Six members of its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to keep rates on hold, with three voting for an increase. This compared to a seven-two vote in the previous MPC meeting.

Markets had anticipated the decision, as the BoE attempts to grapple with rising oil prices caused by the conflict in Iran.

The Base rate affects borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. An unexpected increase would have likely seen mortgage rates increase, as well as the interest banks pay savers.
