Pension Led Funding
Unlock the potential in your pension.
The perception about pensions is that you can’t utilise the funds until you retire, however for certain pension schemes this is not the case.
If you have a qualifying pension scheme you may be able to utilise its value to support your business or to purchase a commercial property.
Pension funding is highly regulated and you need the correct advice, however you can use the funds in your pension through two main tools
Loan Back:
This is where your pension lends your business or a third party business a sum of money for up to 5 years. The borrowing entity will pay a commercial rate of interest back to the pension scheme and will also offer security to the pension which is agreeable to the pension trustees.
Commercial Property Purchase:
With a qualifying pensions you can leverage 50% of the value of your pension to support a commercial property purchase, either for your business to occupy or as an investment purchase.
The pensions trustees will have the ultimate say over whether they are happy with the terms of any loan back or commercial property purchase.
