Pool House provide you with advice throughout the pension journey, whether this is accumulating wealth in the pension planning stage to drawing down your income once you reach retirement.

Pensions can be complex and we aim to make the journey as simple as possible. We work closely with you to establish what your retirement goals are and we implement a plan to make these a reality – this is then reviewed on at least an annual basis to ensure that your plan remains on track or to adapt the strategy should your circumstances/goals change in the future. We use cash flow and income projecting software that will demonstrate what your savings could look like in retirement, what income can be produced and how long incomes can be maintained for and to establish any shortfalls and how this can be rectified or planned for.

Workplace Pensions

Regulations introduced in 2012 now make offering a regulatory pension scheme to the workforce compulsory for employers of all sizes. All eligible workers have to be automatically enrolled into a pension scheme with contributions totalling 8% of salary.

Pool House Group can provide ongoing advice and support to ensure your scheme stays compliant and can help you with the ongoing administration, including liaising with your Scheme Provider and submitting monthly contribution files on your behalf.

Group Insurance

Offering attractive employment benefits which are affordable to your business helping promote a positive work environment and happy employees

Group Death in Service
As an employer, you may want to offer your employees certain benefits.  With a group death in service policy, also know as a group life insurance policy, you are able to offer your employees a level of protection which is usually a multiple of their salary.  This can provide financial support (a tax-free sum of money) to your employees nominated beneficiaries when they die.   

Group Private Medical Insurance
Providing your employees with access to private healthcare allows them to bypass lengthy NHS waiting lists for eligible conditions which can help get them back to work again faster than if they had to wait for NHS care.  Pool House Group can help you create a scheme to reflect your requirements.

Business Protection

Key Person Cover
How would your business be affected if your key employees were to pass away?  Key person cover is a life insurance policy that provides a death benefit to the business if a key employee were to pass away.

Shareholder Protection
Shareholder protection allows business owners to buy back shares from a partner who is diagnosed with a critical illness or dies.  This allows continuity of the business by helping the surviving owners stay in control, minimising disruption.

SSAS Trustee Services

Through Pool House Administration Services Ltd, we provide trusteeship, administration and practitioner services for Small Self Administered Schemes (SSAS). For more information, please visit our website: www.poolhousetrustees.co.uk

Client Stories

We've assisted hundreds of clients in managing their money

  • ‘A practical, knowledgeable, helpful and reactive firm of professionals - I would have no hesitation in recommending the Pool House team for all your financial and investment needs’.
    Richard - Sutton Coldfield
  • ‘I first met David Burns in 2017 when I was looking for an IFA to advise on amalgamating a number of occupational pensions into a self-invested pension. I had little or no previous experience in investments and David undertook a thorough assessment of my risk profile together with my needs and aspirations for retirement. From the outset, David's down to earth demeanour was very reassuring as he clearly articulated my options and took me through every step of the process. I am regularly updated on fund performance and investment strategy and, when I have chosen to draw down any funds, this has been dealt with quickly and efficiently by the support team, including all the form filling. Every individual I have dealt with at Pool House has been professional, approachable and efficient and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.’
    Diane – Burntwood
  • 'I have utilised Pool House Group to advise on the consolidation of my pensions and for the ongoing investment strategy and management - this has worked really well through some turbulent market conditions and the service I receive is always high quality and tailored to my specific circumstances. I would have no hesitation recommending Pool House to anyone looking for this sort of help and advice.'
    Mark - Lichfield
  • ‘I have received excellent service throughout a difficult time for us all. Help at the end of the phone when needed.’
    Neil - Rugeley
  • ‘I have used the services of Pool House on a few occasions and found them to be very professional. My preferred contact is Julie Dunn, I find Julie very approachable, efficient and excellent attention to detail.

    Hitesh – Middlesex
  • ‘We were recommended to Pool House by a friend - who still uses them, and we went to Lichfield to meet the team. Once we had chosen to use them they took us through the advice to transfer a final salary scheme into a SIPP for drawdown. Their follow up and annual meetings to verify our current view on risk for pensions and other ISA investments have been friendly, interesting and professional. So far the investment results have been very satisfactory!’
    James - Gillingham
  • ‘I have been a customer of Pool House for almost ten years now. The advices I have received are most professional. Whenever there is a question or request, emails have always been replied on the same day. I look forward to continuing the relationship for the next ten years.’
    Shen – Birmingham
  • ‘We were searching for an advisor who understands property-based SIPP and were introduced to David Burns and the team at Pool House.  Our first impressions were very favourable. After discussing our needs with them, David suggested moving our property SIPP into a company SSAS.   We felt comfortable with the advice offered and have not been disappointed.  We really appreciate the easy access to the team and the quick personal response to any queries that we may have.’
    Martin - Solihull
  • ‘We used Pool House when applying for our first mortgage. Julie was our adviser and was fantastic, very efficient and made sure everything ran smoothly. We had everything explained to us and now thanks to Julie we are now home owners. We would strongly recommend Julie and Pool House.’
    Catherine - Cannock
  • ‘My husband and I have been dealing with Pool House Group both personally and professionally for a many number of years. Their advice has been invaluable over the years and has enabled us to purchase our own business premises. The team at Pool House set up  all our employees pensions when it became compulsory for them to have a private pension and are always happy to help if advice is needed. The team are friendly, professional and extremely approachable, nothing is ever too much trouble. I would recommend Pool House and have done to friends and family as they have your interests at the heart of everything they do.’
