Your SSAS journey

When starting your SSAS journey it is important to ensure you have the correct level of support in place for long-term SSAS success. That is why, unlike many SSAS practitioners and providers, we offer a lifetime SSAS service including complete SSAS setup.

Our relationship starts with an informal, no obligation chat, to achieve three primary goals:

  • Information about your company and the members of the SSAS: To answer any initial questions and help you understand what a SSAS is.
  • Anti-money laundering: To help you decide whether a SSAS could work for you and your personal and business situation.
  • Transfer existing pensions: To ensure we really understand your framework, aims and goals, both business and personal. No two SSAS pension schemes are the same and understanding you and your business is key to us creating a tailored and bespoke approach to setting up and beginning your SSAS journey.

If you decide that a SSAS is right for you, then we are with you from SSAS setup, choosing a trustee, pension transfers, tax and investment planning, to ensuring the continued success of your SSAS.

Expert support throughout

All of our team are SSAS experts. We have a diverse history that supports the utmost provision of exemplary SSAS setup and strategy, tax planning and investment support.

Whilst not a legal requirement to have professional legal and compliance support, TLPI strongly recommend you ensure this is part of the service you employ to help protect the scheme from breaching HMRC rules and The Pensions Regulator's regulations.

SSAS education is our emphasis

The most important role of any SSAS adviser is not helping to start a SSAS but equipping business owners and SSAS members with SSAS knowledge and tools to ensure their SSAS success.

The journey right from beginning to end game is important to us. The success of your SSAS is vital and helping you understand the whole journey ahead is an essential part of us supporting you to achieve the outcomes and the successes that you desire.

Setting up your SSAS with us is just the beginning. Our full SSAS service includes ongoing personal and professional development regarding your SSAS administration and investment strategy, understanding risk and optimum tax planning.

All our clients have access to a personal consultant for the duration of our relationship with included annual SSAS review and SSAS and investment education.

FAQs

SSAS setup: frequently asked questions

A SSAS typically takes 6 to 12 weeks to set up from your initial consultation to registration with HMRC. The timeline depends on the complexity of existing pensions to transfer, the number of members joining the scheme, and HMRC processing times. TLPI manages the entire process on your behalf.

TLPI's full SSAS service includes complete setup, HMRC registration, pension transfers, trustee documentation, tax and investment planning, legal compliance support, ongoing annual SSAS reviews, and dedicated access to a personal consultant throughout the lifetime of the scheme.

You are not legally required to use a professional SSAS adviser, but TLPI strongly recommend it. The SSAS has complex HMRC rules and The Pensions Regulator's regulations that must be followed. Breaching these can result in significant tax penalties. Professional support ensures ongoing compliance and maximises the scheme's potential.

Yes. You can transfer existing personal pensions, workplace pensions, and frozen pension pots into your SSAS. Consolidating pensions increases the total fund available for investment, reduces fees, and simplifies management. TLPI handles all transfer paperwork and HMRC registration.
