Thinking about selling your UK business and moving to Cyprus?
Timing isn’t just important, it’s everything.

If you sell your business before properly establishing Cyprus tax residency, your gains will likely fall straight under UK tax rules. Even moving immediately after the sale can trigger strict anti-avoidance measures.

The good news? With the right advice and planning, establishing Cyprus residency enables you to maximise major tax advantages:

• 0% capital gains tax on share sales.
• 0% tax on dividends and interest under the non-dom regime.
• 5% tax on most UK pension income.
• No local inheritance or wealth tax.

Swipe through to see the critical tax traps every UK business owner needs to avoid before signing on the dotted line. https://bit.ly/4x4k4nv

“If you were told you could afford to spend an extra £10,000 a year, what would you choose to do?”

When thinking about retirement or relocating abroad, the biggest questions are rarely about investment products. They are about lifestyle:
• When can I realistically retire?
• How long will my savings actually last?
• Can I afford to gift money to my family without risking my own security?

Traditional spreadsheets can't answer these emotionally driven questions. That’s where lifestyle modelling comes in.

Rather than focusing purely on performance percentages, lifestyle modelling maps out your real-world income, investments, and goals to simulate the future. It allows us to stress-test "what if" scenarios, like market volatility, inflation, or cross-border tax changes, giving you a tangible blueprint for your life ahead.
