Who it's for

Built for couples who are also co-directors.

Running a Ltd company together changes how your money works. Income, tax, protection and retirement all end up tied to the business, and most financial advice isn't built with that in mind.

The usual approach

Two separate conversations.

One of you sees an adviser. The other doesn't. Decisions about the business, its profits and its risk get made without a full financial picture on either side.

In Business Together

One plan, built around both of you.

Start with the free Couples Finance Score or book straight in, then get matched into the specialist sessions that actually apply to your situation.

Why us

A family firm, advising family firms.

Damian founded the firm in 2008. Romany, his daughter, is now a financial adviser in the business and part of the ownership too. We've sat on both sides of the conversations about money, risk and fairness that come up when family and business overlap, so we know what they involve.

Lisa, Damian's wife and Romany's mum, looks after compliance across the business. And Matthew and Romany are partners themselves, so between us there's more than one couple in the business living out exactly what we advise on.

Founded 2008Still run by the same family
The team

Three specialists. One shared plan.

Based on your Couples Finance Score or your discovery call, you're matched into the sessions that are relevant to you. Each one is led by whoever owns that part of the plan.

How it works

From first step to plan.

Step 1

Start with the Score, or book straight in

Take the free Couples Finance Score to see where you stand, or skip ahead and book a discovery call directly. Either way, both of you together.

Step 2

Meet the relevant specialist

Based on what comes up, you're matched into the specific sessions that matter: protection, mortgages, or pensions and investments.

Step 3

Get one shared plan

Everything comes together in a single plan for both of you and the business, rather than two separate sets of advice.

What you'll receive

Your Discovery Call Report.

After your discovery call, you'll get a written report summarising where you both stand and what we'd recommend next, so nothing said in the room gets lost.

Your current position Gaps & risks identified Recommended next sessions

It's yours to keep whether or not you go ahead with us. Think of it as a clear, jargon-free record of the conversation rather than a sales pitch.

Questions

Things people ask before booking.

What is the Couples Finance Score?+

A free five-minute discovery quiz you both complete together. It isn't advice, just a quick way to see where you're covered, where you're exposed, and which of our specialist sessions would suit you best.

Do I have to take the Score before booking a discovery call?+

No. It's there if you're not sure where to start, but you're welcome to book a discovery call directly at any point.

Do we both need to attend?+

Yes. The Score and your discovery call are both designed around both directors being involved, since the business and your personal finances are looked at together.

Is this only for husband-and-wife directors?+

It's built around co-director couples running a Ltd company together, but the same approach works for any pair of directors managing joint personal finances.

Are you regulated?+

Yes. In Business Together is a trading style of NeedingAdvice.co.uk Ltd, which is an appointed representative of Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA) Ltd, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. You're protected by the Financial Ombudsman Service and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
