Wealth Extraction for Directors: Make the Most of Your Business Success
Building a successful business is only half the battle. For many company directors, the real challenge is figuring out how to extract that hard-earned wealth without losing a fortune to the taxman.
If you’re a director sitting on company profits wondering how to turn them into personal wealth efficiently, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why we created our free guide: Wealth Extraction for Directors: Smart Strategies to Turn Business Profits into Personal Wealth.
Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll find inside.
Why Most Directors Get Wealth Extraction Wrong
Many directors are brilliant at generating profits, but less experienced when it comes to getting those profits into their own pockets.
Too often, everything is taken as salary or dividends. The problem? You could be paying up to 52% in combined taxes.
There are smarter ways to approach this. The key is understanding that there isn’t one “right” method - there are multiple routes, each with different tax implications. The smart move is choosing the right combination for your circumstances.
The Smart Director’s Toolkit
Wealth extraction isn’t about picking one option. It’s about creating a balanced plan that makes the most of the opportunities available while keeping tax exposure under control.
In our eBook, we explore six proven strategies for wealth extraction:
Strategic Salary Planning – Why it still matters, even during tight cashflow.
Company Pension Contributions – The most tax-efficient extraction method available, with crucial updates after the January 2025 reforms.
Family Employment Strategy – How hiring family members can create multiple extraction opportunities.
Dividend Strategy (and its limitations) – Why dividends aren’t always the golden ticket.
Retirement Relief – The generous CGT savings available when you plan your exit.
Entrepreneur Relief – Rewarding directors who’ve taken the risk of building their business.
We also cover advanced approaches like corporate investment bonds, benefits-in-kind optimisation, and adapting your pension planning to the new post-2025 rules.
Don’t Go It Alone
The rules can be complex, and it’s easy to miss opportunities if you don’t plan ahead. Without the right guidance you could end up paying more tax than you need to.
With the right plan, you can extract profits in a smarter, more efficient way that benefits both you and your loved ones.
