Protection Advice

Wesleyan Financial Services are here to protect you, your practice and your family – now and in the future. Getting the right protection in place isn’t straightforward when you take into account the peculiarities of a career in dentistry.

We can support you with cover that’s right for you. It’s equally important to protect your family and lifestyle.

We offer advice on:

• Income protection
• Critical illness cover
• Home insurance
• Dental practice insurance

Mortgage Advice

Getting on the property ladder can be difficult, particularly if you’re self-employed and at the start of your career. We work with a range of lenders who have an understanding of how dentistry works and are prepared to take a more holistic view of your financial position than many of the high street lenders.

Our Specialist Financial Advisers work closely with these providers to find the right mortgage for you, no matter where you are on the property ladder.

Wesleyan Financial Services Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Family Finances

When we say we’re all about you, we mean your family too and they can benefit from the same financial planning support to help their finances flourish.

As a parent, nothing matters more than giving your children the best possible start in life. It’s never too early to start planning for the costs of supporting your children’s future. Whatever your child’s age, we can help you plan how you can support them through each milestone in their life.

We offer:

• Financial advice for families
• Advice on Junior ISA options

The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may get back less money than you invested.

Pension Support

You may think that all that pension stuff is a million miles away – particularly when you’re at the height of your career in dentistry. However, the sooner you start putting the right plans in place, the bigger the benefits are further down the line.

Get a head start on your retirement fund by exploring your pension options. Or get specialist help on the NHS Pension Scheme from our experts, recognised by the NHS as able to provide guidance on this complex financial planning area.

Savings & Investments

When you have an excess of funds sitting in your personal or business accounts, investing could help you grow your money faster than simply saving, but it can be a little daunting knowing where to begin.

Across the Wesleyan Group you can access advice from our specialists at Wesleyan Financial Services as well as fund management from an award-winning investments team at Wesleyan Assurance Society. The With Profits Fund is managed by our in-house investments team – named Investment Team of the Year at the Insurance Asset Risk Awards 2023.

Retirement Planning

Retirement is more than planning your pension. We consider ourselves more like life coaches when it comes to your retirement – we can help you with the NHS Pension Scheme and accessing your pension benefits, plus put steps in place to ensure you can retire with the lifestyle you want.

And, if you’re a principal dentist or practice partner who needs to sell your business, we have experience in helping you build a successful exit strategy to avoid any delays.

Inheritance Tax Planning

It’s not the nicest thing to think about, but as a dentist, you could be leaving a big inheritance tax (IHT) burden behind after you’re gone. That’s something you don’t want your loved ones to inherit.

With lots of rules, exceptions, and reliefs, IHT can get quite complicated – but we’re on hand to help you keep your hard-earned money out of the taxman’s pocket.

If you’re smart with your money – and start planning sooner rather than later – there are ways to help minimise IHT.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate inheritance tax planning.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is about making sure that all the things you own – whether it’s property, savings or investments – are passed on efficiently and in line with your wishes when you die.

Then there’s the complexity of what happens to your practice if you’re a practice owner or part of a partnership to think about.

A solid estate and business continuity plan means peace of mind for your family’s future – ensuring you’ve saved enough for retirement and that you’re providing for your family after you’re gone.
