Budget Thoughts

Join us as we reflect on the implications of Rishi Sunak’s Spring budget. While we’re not expecting a tax-raising budget (that will come later), we would not be surprised to see changes that lay the ground for the Prime Minister’s much vaunted levelling-up agenda – the next election is approaching surprising quickly.

Limited companies look vulnerable, especially where they are used primarily as tax shelters, while the large cash balances held by private companies (around a third of GDP) must be tempting for a Chancellor with empty coffers.

Our team of economics graduates will be burning the midnight oil, looking for signals for when and how the Chancellor will start the return to fiscal prudence; for clues as to how far his conversion to a more Keynesian approach is likely to extend and for ways we can help our clients pay their fair share but no more.

The session will focus on the implications of any changes for business leaders and investors, both immediately and over the next few years, and look at the changes we may need to make to our longer-term strategies.

What people have to say about previous events....

Two great presentations - although I'd experienced the business sale process before was good to hear the pitfalls from James again. Richard is always easy to listen to and his delivery is great. James explained each element in a interesting way - could easily have lost people if the delivery had been tedious! Love the idea of the presentations - this one was less interesting to me than the previous one - cake made up for it!

Radostina was marvelous, intelligent and had a lovely presence. Excellent speaker. Both talks were informative and intelligent. There were plenty of takeaways and the peer-to-peer conversation was engaging as well. Also, the cake halfway was a nice touch. I'll do anything for cake.

Beginning to plan seriously for retirement and being a relative newbie in Norwich, it was refreshing to be introduced to a firm that places great emphasis on technical analysis and thoughtful planning. Too often, in my experience, IFAs are more concerned with style over substance but Chadwicks, through their Masterclass sessions offer real insight into investment management and retirement planning. Whether as a professional adviser or, like myself, someone looking for genuine insight into the changing times of today, I would recommend the sessions wholeheartedly.

This was my first event, and I was impressed with how it was operated, the topics covered and the quality of the speakers.

Chadwick’s Masterclasses are one of the highlights in my calendar. Clearly, a great deal of thought and preparation goes into them, which results in useful and up-to-date information that helps me plan my personal money matters, develop my business and think more clearly about what to do next in this ever-changing world. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking to improve the management of their finances.

Lindsey Mack | Director

I cannot recommend Chadwick’s Masterclasses too highly nor say enough good things about them. Chadwick’s Masterclasses provide fresh insights and offer practical steps to build, maintain and retain value in businesses. Richard delivers clear and well-thought-out advice while challenging preconceptions. The workshops are thoroughly researched and never turn into sales presentations. I learn something every time I attend.

I enjoyed all the sessions and took away a golden nugget or two from each of them.

Good choice of presentations, all of interest, good venue ... So many people don't think of the impact of retirement soon enough on both our finances and our wellbeing. All businesses would benefit from having these presentations for those in their late 50's and early 60's to get individuals thinking about what they need to do and what they want to do, to ease themselves into retirement.
