Invest your company profits
Business bank accounts pay close to zero interest these days. Learn about the right company investment structures and online platforms allowing you to invest in higher-yielding assets.
Choose the right Exit Strategy
There is no point investing if you cannot reap the rewards. Whether it's ongoing passive income or a lump-sum amount, you will learn advanced methods for extracting your cash legally.
Invest in Property, Stocks & Bonds
You will learn what income-producing assets are available to LTD companies and how they work. Buy-to-Let, Property crowdfunding, Stocks & ETFs, Peer-to-Peer lending, Private Equity, Bridging loans, Gold, Silver and more.
Review of the best Online Platforms
We review the best online platforms that offer accounts for LTD companies. How much they cost, how to sign-up and what features they offer in detail.
Work with a specialised accountant
We know setting up your company for investing can be a pain which is why our accounting partners can make it easy for you after the end of the course.
Stay compliant
You must comply with HMRC and regulation rules when investing as an LTD company. The course shows you the actions you need to take to stay compliant and never miss a deadline.
Pay less taxes
Avoid (not evade) taxes legally. Learn which investments have a favourable tax treatment for companies, how to minimise taxes when selling or when taking an income from your investment company.
A powerful online community
You will join an online community of likeminded business owners who want to grow their wealth. This is a fantastic opportunity to discuss and learn from others.
Meet Michael
Who pays for my future self?
How come some people enjoy life more than others?
Why are some clever people poor and dumber people rich?
I was constantly thinking about my money ‘issues’ when a friend convinced me I am skilled enough to start my own company. I was quite reluctant but I did. My limited company was doing well, offering technology services to clients. Invoices raised, money flew in, profits stacked up.
Why take this course if I can find an accountant
1) Most accountants will often limit what their clients can achieve. They want to do things the easiest (for them) way while reducing their clients potential. “Just put more money into your pension” or “Take dividends and then invest personally” are typical responses that are not good enough. They want to do the bookkeeping – not grow wealth for their clients. Most probably, you have acknowledged this yourself too.
2) Most accountants will only spend 1 or 2 hours with you or otherwise charge thousands of pounds to explain the concepts. This is not only from my experience, but from people e-mailing me daily.

Here's your course outline
The course consists of 3 pillars, all of which are essential to company investing and wealth management.
The Tax Pillar teaches you everything you need to know about tax and accounting. It helps you decide whether company investing is right for you, how it works and how to implement it using the most appropriate company structure. It also includes a group Q&A session with a qualified accountant for you to ask questions. We also look at tax optimisation strategies to minimise taxes and stay on top of your obligations to HMRC.
The Investing Pillar is all about execution. You have decided company investing is right for you and you want to go from zero to having invested funds in a platform ASAP. It provides information for you to choose the best bank account and investing platform. It also covers Property buy-to-let and education on how to build a diversified portfolio that not only makes money but also lets you sleep well at night.
The “Enjoy your Money” Pillar is all about reaping the rewards of your efforts. It discusses different exit strategies with real-world examples. This is so that when the time comes you can keep what you earned and enjoy it / match your liabilities (i.e. kids university, fun years etc). It also covers a passive-income style of building wealth using a combination of LTD company investing and Pensions.
We believe the 3 Pillars are essential for you to make an educated decision on how to best handle your money.
The course includes 8 hours of valuable online content. On top of that, you will participate in a 1h Live Q&A with a Chartered Accountant (group session) plus another group Q&A with Michael.

Frequent Questions
No, no. Most online courses just email you a ton of videos to watch and expect you to figure things out on your own. This doesn’t work. Studying at home is great, studying alone is not. Our courses include a mix of online videos and live Q&A sessions plus a helpful community of business owners. You can go at your own pace too, of course, but engaging with your peers is what we highly recommend.
If you miss a live Q&A you will have the option to join the next one free of charge.
If you have operated through a limited company before then you probably have some basic understanding already. Some basic knowledge of tax (i.e. what dividends, corporation tax are) is recommended but not essential.
Investing knowledge is not required. We will be talking about investing fundamentals and provide guidance (not advice!).
We are a team of both accountant and non-accountant experts. Having the right tax structure is important which is why an accountant will be there with you in one of the Tax Pillar sessions. We also focus on financial planning, exit strategies, and investing tools for limited companies.

The course will give you everything you need to decide whether it’s worth taking the money out of your company and invest personally.
This is not an easy choice which is why we have dedicated an entire session to this question, backed by data.
