Your Exit Strategy Shouldn't Start the Day You Retire—Let's Plan It Properly

 

Planning to Retire in the Next 5-10 Years? Here's What You Need to Know

If you're a business owner approaching retirement, you might be focused on the day-to-day running of your company. But have you given serious thought to what happens when it's time to step away?

Many business owners approach retirement without a clear picture of their pension pot or tax exposure. It's a common scenario: years of hard work building a successful business, but when it comes time to exit, the financial picture is murky at best.

The Hidden Risks of Poor Exit Planning

Without proper planning, you could face:

  • Unexpected tax liabilities that eat into your retirement fund
  • Unclear valuation of your business assets
  • Pension shortfalls you didn't see coming
  • Rushed decisions made under pressure

  Capital Gains Tax Just Got More Expensive If you're a business owner, property investor, or planning to sell assets in 2025/26, the Capital Gains Tax changes announced in the November Budget will have a direct impact on your bottom line. The rates have increased significantly, and the reliefs available are becoming more restrictive. The Key Changes at a Glance The Chancellor has increased CGT rates across the board since taking office: 💷 Higher rate CGT:  Risen from 20% to 24% on most asset disposals 💷 Basic rate CGT:  Now 18% (previously 10%) 💷 Annual exemption:  Down to just £3,000 (it was £12,300 not long ago) What Does This Mean in Real Terms?

These aren't small adjustments—they represent real money that could stay in your business or retirement fund with p...
