When you’re busy with the business, it’s so easy to neglect your personal finances. It’s also easy to miss opportunities to harness your business to benefit your personal finances. For example, you could be using your commercial property and personal pension to save tax. If things are going well and you’re building up capital reserves, there are various options for growing them in a tax-efficient way.
As a business owners, there are probably more options than you realise. The problem is, without having a financial advisor, they can be complicated and time-consuming to research. That’s where we come in.

Buying a commercial property through your pension is a popular type of investment, particularly for business owners who have their own premises.
To fund the property purchase, the business can contribute to a pension. Any contributions will be treated as allowance expenses, reducing your corporation tax liability.
Pensions & Property
By holding a commercial property in your pension, you will benefit from:
…✓ Tax-free growth. This means that when you come to sell the property, there’s no capital gains tax to pay (rather than the 18% or 28% tax paid if not held in a pension).
…✓ Tax-free income. Any rental payments paid by the business will reduce its corporation tax liability and no tax would be paid on the income by the pension.
Free Pension Review
To get started, we offer a free pension of your pensions. This will tell you:
…1. Whether your pension can invest in commercial property
…2. The benefits and drawbacks of investing in commercial property.
