Steven works across financial planning with a specialism in retirement planning, and he's used to sitting across the table from business owners who've been putting this off for years.</p><p>The conversation covers the real tax advantages of paying into a pension through your limited company, what the difference between a sole trader and a director actually means for your retirement planning, how to check your state pension forecast, and why it is never actually too late to start.</p><p>It's straight-talking, occasionally uncomfortable, and genuinely useful.
