Pat’s pension; a source of capital

• In Pat’s instance she was able to “commute” her pension: ie. pull the full value into a personalized pension account.

• Then she unlocked part of the pension to invest in business, and fast-tracked income from the remaining pension to avoid drawing salary during start-up.

• Such a strategy depends on many factors. Your desire to consider such strategies should be discussed and confirmed with members of your financial, accounting, tax-planning team who can assist in this or other ways to help reach your personal and business goals.
