Our team of specialists works with you to ensure you are fully compliant, structured in the most strategic way and making your submissions on time. The strategic side of the business can often be overlooked in favour of a compliance only approach, but in the construction sector more than many others there is much to be gained from a structured approach to your business set-up.
The structure of your business is crucial - consider separating the risk of developments into different companies and keeping developments and contractor services separate.
Our Partners and personal tax consultants can also advise you on the individual aspects of your affairs such as income from personal lettings, planning for retirement, Inheritance Tax strategies and even the use of SIPP's and other pension provisions through Lovewell Blake Financial Planning. If you have income from property lettings, consider our Landlords section for further guidance.
