Investing a Windfall or Inheritance

If you receive a windfall or inheritance, consider your long-term financial goals before deciding how to invest the funds. You may want to consult a financial advisor to help you develop an investment.


Making Your Pension Work

To make the most of your pension, it's important to contribute as much as possible and to start saving early. You may also want to consider consolidating multiple pensions into one.


Planning for a Large Expenditure

If you're planning for a large expenditure such as a home purchase or major renovation, it's important to budget carefully and save up as much as possible beforehand.


Planning for Inheritance Tax

If you're concerned about the impact of inheritance tax, there are strategies you can use to minimise your tax liability. Consult a financial advisor to determine the best approach for your circumstances.


Planning for Retirement

Planning for retirement involves estimating how much income you'll need to cover your living expenses in later life and taking steps to ensure you have enough savings and investments to meet those needs.


Tax-Efficient Investing

Tax-efficient investing can be achieved with a financial advisor using strategies such as investing in tax-free savings accounts or using tax-efficient investment vehicles such as ISAs or pension schemes.


Consolidating Pensions

These days few people have a career with one firm and end up with multiple pensions with different providers from each employment. We can help you consolidate your pensions and prepare for flexible access drawdown in retirement.


Inheritance Tax Planning

Inheritance tax is onerous. Over a certain threshold, it is normally 40% of the value of the estate, including money, possessions and property, of somebody who has passed away. At KGJ, we can help you plan for it.


Long-Term Cash Planning

We have tools that allow us to build a forecast for 60 or more years into the future. Although nobody has a crystal ball, it is possible to see the general direction a savings plan will take you and whether you will be able to get to where you want.


Making the Best of Your Retirement

Retirement should be all about getting the most out of life, and a pension fund is essential for maintaining your quality of life after your working days end. We can help you make your existing pension last longer and do more for you.


Pension Planning in Middle Age

If you start planning your retirement when you’re already in middle age, then there is no need to panic! All is not lost, and a great deal is possible, even in a short time. Get in touch so that we can work out what the best plan is.


Starting Pensions Young

The best time to start a pension is when you start work. Even a very small monthly deposit can end up making a sizeable contribution to a retirement fund that won’t be used for forty years or more. Get in touch to get your pension started.


Adverse Credit Lending

Adverse credit lending is ideal for buyers with poor credit history. It often involves higher interest rates, stricter terms and increased risk for lenders due to previous credit issues.


Buy-to-Let Mortgages

Buy-to-let mortgages are loans used to purchase rental properties. They have higher deposits, different interest rates and are subject to landlord regulations. Financial and legal advice is essential.


Holiday Home Mortgages

Holiday home mortgages are loans used to finance second homes or holiday properties. They typically require a larger deposit, have higher interest rates, and may have strict eligibility criteria.


Lifetime Mortgages

Lifetime mortgages allow homeowners aged 55+ to release tax-free cash from their property without selling it, with interest accruing over the loan's lifetime, unless (optionally) paid.


Residential Mortgages

Residential mortgages are loans used to purchase or refinance a home. They typically have fixed or variable interest rates and can be repaid over a period of up to 35 years.


Short-Term Finance

Short-term finance provides interim funding when purchasing a property. Short-term finance is typically used for renovations and offers temporary capital with higher interest rates and shorter repayment terms.


Health Insurance

Health insurance is for anyone who wants to protect themselves financially against the high cost of medical care, including private health insurance or insurance for carers.

Death in Service Policies

This benefit provides financial support to an employee's loved ones during a difficult time and can be an important factor in attracting and retaining talented employees.


Inheritance Tax Planning

By structuring affairs in a tax-efficient manner, business owners can ensure that their estate is passed on to beneficiaries in the most cost-effective way.


Tax Planning for Directors

Directors can ensure they are making the most of available tax breaks with tax-efficient pension contributions, investment opportunities and remuneration packages.


Succession Planning

Succession planning involves developing processes for the transfer of leadership and ownership of a business, or other assets from one generation to the next.


Corporate Investment

The aim of corporate investment is to generate a return on the company's cash reserves, which can be used to fund future growth or pay dividends to shareholders.
