SSAS

Key Questions Answered

Small, self-administered pension schemes (SSAS) are a type of pension designed to allow a small number of senior staff in a company to build up a pension fund.

While SIPPs have grabbed all the headlines in recent years, SSAS options have been around for over 30 years and remain an invaluable form of pension planning. They have some advantages over SIPPs, including the ability to make loans to the employer company and the grouping together of pension assets for business owners and key executives.

We recognise the value of SSASs and operate our products to the same high standard as SIPPs, with many of the features of the SIPP product. These include a high level of personal service and a competitive fee scale. Our experienced team ensures that our SSASs are well-run and good value for money.

With the increased maturity of the SSAS market, issues such as suitability of investments, benefit drawdown, scheme membership and succession planning need to be kept under continual review. The Talbot and Muir SSAS team are experts in this field and provide a valuable service to our clients, and their advisers.

Free SSAS reviews

It’s important to make sure that SSASs are correctly administered to avoid potential fines and de-registration of a scheme in the event that the current Scheme Administrator is not deemed ‘Fit and Proper’ by HMRC.

We undertake a no obligation and fee free service to review an existing scheme with another administrator. To book an appointment for a SSAS review, please contact us using the above contact details and we would be happy to help.
