If you are interested in purchasing one of the units, it may be possible to do this through a pension scheme, rather than borrowing from a bank. This is a tax-efficient approach whereby your pension scheme owns the trading premises and your business leases it from your scheme; rent goes directly into your pension.

Our commercial units are capable of being purchased within a small self-administered scheme (SSAS) pension or a self-investment pension plan (SIPP), with both vehicles offering a tax-efficient method of holding commercial property and sheltering income and gains from tax.

As James Priday, Managing Director of Prydis Wealth, explains:

“A SSAS allows you to invest your pension assets with a high degree of flexibility and offers significant control to pension scheme members. As well as tax relief on company and personal contributions, the SSAS can provide a great way to finance your own business (through a loan), to purchase your trading premises and lease it back, or to borrow money within the pension to provide additional liquidity for investment purposes.”

A SSAS pension allows up to twelve members to save for their future, provide capital for their business, and use a wide range of other investment assets as well as their own or other commercial property.

For someone not wishing or able to use a SSAS, a SIPP can provide similar investment opportunities, including the purchase of commercial property, where allowed by the scheme trustees.

Prydis offer retirement planning services to help individuals and businesses build a future-proof retirement plan and can arrange or manage both SIPP and SSAS pensions.
