Are you self-employed and concerned about your retirement? 

Join us for an exclusive webinar where independent financial advisers from Chase de Vere, IPSE's trusted partner, will share their expert insights on how to retire successfully as a self-employed individual.

Recent research by Institute for Fiscal Studies highlights a significant challenge for self-
employed workers: a £250,000 retirement shortfall on average. This stark statistic 
underscores the unique hurdles self-employed individuals face in securing a comfortable 
retirement. 

Unlike salaried employees, self-employed professionals often lack access to 
employer-sponsored pension schemes and must navigate the complexities of retirement 
planning on their own.

What you'll learn

This comprehensive webinar will address the key aspects of retirement planning specifically 
tailored for the self-employed, including:


1. Estimating your retirement needs

  • Consider how much you might need for a secure retirement.
  • Think about how much to save now to meet your retirement goals.

2. Types of pension schemes available

  • Explore the different pension schemes and their suitability for self-employed individuals

3. Business structures and pension contributions

  • Discover how different business structures can impact your pension contributions.
  • Learn the most tax-efficient ways to make pension contributions.

4. Pros and cons of consolidating old pensions

  • Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of consolidating multiple pension plans into one.
  • Get practical advice on managing several pension pots accumulated over your career.

5. How and when to draw your pension

  • Learn the best strategies for drawing your pension.
  • Understand the timing and methods to maximise your retirement income.

Live Q&A session

Our webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, providing you the opportunity to ask our 
experienced advisers your specific questions.

Why attend?

Planning for retirement as a self-employed individual requires careful consideration and 
strategic planning. This webinar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools.
