Everything else rests upon this bottom layer and, should the worst happen and your income stop, the whole house can come tumbling down.

These issues apply to sole traders, partners and shareholders in limited companies, and all of this can be avoided with some sensible succession planning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/keyguides\/SBWM-KeyGuides-Businesssuccession.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click to download<\/a><\/p>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module template_part -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col4-1 tb_qcg7666 last\">\n                    <!-- module template_part -->\n<div  class=\"module module-layout-part tb_9mwl699 \">\n    <div class=\"tb_layout_part_wrap tf_w\"><!--themify_builder_content-->\n    <div  class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-6957 themify_builder not_editable_builder in_the_loop\" data-postid=\"6957\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_4r04888 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_v766004 first\">\n                    <!-- module callout -->\n<div  class=\"module ui module-callout tb_dq3v636 button-bottom-center transparent  rounded\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    \n    <div class=\"callout-inner\">\n    <div class=\"callout-content tf_left\">\n        <h3 class=\"callout-heading\"><strong>Interested in any <p \/> of these topics!<\/strong><\/h3>\n        <div class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n            For an informal, no obligation, chat with a consultant please call <h5> <strong> <span class=\"shortcode themify-icon \"><i class=\"themify-icon-icon\" ><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-fas-phone\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-phone\" xlink:href=\"#tf-fas-phone\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i><\/span>\u00a001689 667405<\/strong> <\/h5> or email <p><strong><a href=\"mailto:enquiries@sbwm.uk\">enquiries@sbwm.uk<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/callout-content -->\n        <\/div>\n    <!-- \/callout-content -->\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module callout -->\n        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module template_part --><!-- module template_part -->\n<div  class=\"module module-layout-part tb_hcdl661 \">\n    <div class=\"tb_layout_part_wrap tf_w\"><!--themify_builder_content-->\n    <div  class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-7213 themify_builder not_editable_builder in_the_loop\" data-postid=\"7213\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_bbmo319 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_fx7c320 first\">\n                    <!-- module widget -->\n<div  class=\"module module-widget tb_59ly3  \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    <div class=\"widget feature-posts\"><h2 class=\"widgettitle\">Recent Posts<\/h2><ul class=\"feature-posts-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/v3\/news\/what-can-financial-planning-do-for-you-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SBWM-Financial-planning-journey-1024x536-50x50.jpg\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" class=\"post-img wp-post-image wp-image-7437 lazyload\" title=\"SBWM-Financial-planning-journey\" alt=\"SBWM-Financial-planning-journey\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SBWM-Financial-planning-journey-1024x536-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SBWM-Financial-planning-journey-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SBWM-Financial-planning-journey-1024x536-978x978.jpg 978w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 50px) 100vw, 50px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 50px;

I liked him immediately as he has a pleasant and down to earth manner and he had the ability to assess my particular requirements and to help me understand my various options. As my requirements have changed over the last 13 years, Graham, because of his knowledge and understanding of his subject, is able to provide me with honest and detailed advice in a way that gives me every confidence in his recommendations. He takes the trouble to get to know his clients, which makes them feel that they have a very personal service. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and contacts.<!--themify_builder_content-->\n    <div  class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-7160 themify_builder not_editable_builder in_the_loop\" data-postid=\"7160\">\n            <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.entry-content -->\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/.testimonial-content -->\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"testimonial-author\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/v3\/testimonial\/takes-the-trouble-to-get-to-know-his-clients\/\" title=\"Takes the trouble to get to know his clients\">&mdash; <span>Jackie Watts<\/span><\/a><span class=\"testimonial-title\">Retired<\/span>\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<!-- \/.testimonial-author -->\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/article>\n<!-- \/.testimonial-post -->\n    <\/div><!-- .builder-posts-wrap -->\n                <\/div>\n<!-- \/module post -->\n            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module template_part -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protecting Your Loved Ones The people who are most important to you are the ones that you will want to offer financial protection to.
