  • One last thing, as I know hardly anything about pensions should I see an IFA or can anyone recommend a certain site?

    Well how much will you put in each year?

    or a start, i'd try one of the onlines like Cavendish, or even HL. Once you have saved quite a lot (ie more than 20-40K) then an IFA might be in order. The trick is, your COMPANY must pay the contributions, not you.

    As for investments, choose a multi asset fund of say 60-80% equities or a global tracker to start with. Will give you low costs and diversification.

    First of all thank you for the replies. The reason I haven’t thought about a pension is because I always wanted to be mortgage free as at first it was a big sum of money that was worrying me.

    Wise decision. Running your own business has inherent risks. Compared to those in relatively secure salaried employment.
