Rebecca Aldridge:

Rebecca is a Chartered Financial Planner and founder of Balance: Wealth Planning based in Nottingham. Her expert team works with families, business owners and entrepreneurs, alongside their professional advisers. Her emphasis is on goals-based personal financial planning advice, optimising her clients’ wealth and helping them feel confident they have enough to live their ideal lives.

In our session, she’ll be talking about something that will impact most of us eventually… inheritance tax. The 40% tax that can apply to a chunk of our wealth when we die. She’ll cover issues that impact business owners and how the rules are changing for us all next year, pulling a lot more wealth into the inheritance tax net.

She’ll explore how you might feel about this tax in principle and talk through 7 practical financial planning moves that can reduce that bill when you go, leaving more for the people you care about.

Kevin Else:

The cost of Fraud to the small to medium business community is estimated to be £5.2 BILLION a year. In this digital age you would suspect that the majority of fraud now occurs on line, but that's not always the case. Kevin, an Information Security consultant for more than 30 years will cover a range of quick and easy to implement methods of protecting your business from being conned out of your hard earned cash.
