Why is it important to ask how much cash your client has in their business?
At Deepbridge, we recently conducted a survey of financial advisers, and whilst over 90% of responses confirmed that they had company directors and shareholders amongst their clients, over a third didn’t know the cash position of those clients’ companies.*
Given the potentially significant impact this cash position could have on their client’s estate and IHT liability, this could represent a potential future issue that is not receiving appropriate planning.
