Company Directors are in the unique position of being able to control the size of their employer contributions to their retirement scheme, subject to affordability.  Many Directors do not realise that their company may be permitted to contribute multiples of current salary. This means that substantial investment propositions can be effected immediately, and a very sizeable scheme can be achieved relatively quickly.

If you wish to invest in property through your SSAP, you can do so either directly by acquiring a property at arm's length utilising borrowings if necessary (subject to Revenue rules) or alternatively by investing in a Syndicated Property structure.

A SSAP is established ultimately to provide an income after employment. Allowing investment in a wide range of sophisticated and innovative investment products with the aim of maximising your retirement fund and subsequent income makes the SSAP very attractive to those with a desire for more than that offered by traditional pension structures.

Along with employer contributions, you can also make additional contributions from your salary in the form of Additional Voluntary Contributions.
