Building your business only to see your assets stripped away by creditors in times of financial hardship is a subject that few are willing to contemplate. Can a SSAS help protect your assets if your business goes under ?

Contribute assets to a SSAS
You can contribute and sell assets from your business to your SSAS  which, in addition to building a retirement fund for you, could also ring-fence your assets against business creditors.

A SSAS operates under discretionary trust
SSAS uniquely can assist controllers of a business. The assets of a SSAS are completely and legally separate from those of a business. 

Forward business and financial planning
The assets of a company contributed to a SSAS do not need to be earmarked in favour of a particular member/director at the time of the contribution.  This can assist in financial and business planning. Pension Practitioner .Com can provide assistance to clients on the contribution of a business asset to a SSAS within HMRC requirements.

Ensure HMRC requirements are met
Selling or contributing an asset held by you, a third party or the business can be correctly administered with Pension Practitioner .Com within HMRC requirements to your SSAS.

Minimising income payable through bankruptcy
Whilst personal bankruptcies may give rise to an order against a pension scheme to pay a share of income to a creditor from the member’s retirement age, the exposure to the share of income payable can be minimised through SSAS.
