How To Outwit Your Competition & Let More Commercial Space

I welcome back Bryn Walker, who on his return to the podcast is focusing on Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS) pensions and their intersection with commercial property investments.

Bryn, an experienced SSAS advisor, shares insights on the flexibility and advantages of SSAS pensions for entrepreneurs. The discussion delves into topics such as the application process with HMRC, the potential pitfalls of pension scams, considerations for lending money from a SSAS, and the minimum financial requirements for setting up a SSAS. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
 A SSAS pension offers flexibility for SME owners to invest in various assets beyond traditional pension options.
Bryn is launching a new SSAS administration company called SSAS UK in May.
Lending money back to the sponsoring employer in a SSAS comes with strict rules and considerations, such as security and interest rates.
Lending money to third parties in a SSAS is seen as an investment and requires thorough due diligence and trust.
The decision to set up a SSAS should be based on whether the investment justifies the annual running cost, rather than a specific minimum amount.

BEST MOMENTS

"I tend to find directors of small limited companies have requirements that are over and above normal because they're entrepreneurs and they tend to look for a more interesting type of pension arrangement." 

"Anything that's put in place to reduce the likelihood of a pension scam, I would have to favour."

"Everybody's circumstances are separate and different, and the way that SSAS works is complicated, and there's lots of, that lovely word, nuances, and you really need to get full and proper advice based around your circumstances."

Exploring the Nuances of SSAS and Commercial Property Investments with Bryn Walker

I talk to special guest Gary Wilson, about all aspects of project development in the construction industry. Gary shares his extensive experience in construction, project management, and sales, providing valuable insights and lessons learned from his career.

We look at topics such as the challenges of managing larger developments, the importance of trust and honesty in business relationships, and the significance of meticulous planning and attention to detail in project management. Gary also shares personal stories, including his background in kickboxing and his ventures into the alcohol business. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Gary has extensive experience in project development, starting from his background in construction and sales to his current role as a Construction Development Director at Taymouth Castle.
Gary learned the hard way about the importance of trust and partnerships in business, especially from a past partnership that did not go as planned. This experience taught him to be cautious and selective in choosing business partners.
Gary's involvement in various projects, such as the directional drilling under the River Tay, showcases his persistence and problem-solving skills. He faced challenges head-on and found creative solutions to ensure project success.
Carefully assess opportunities, collaborate with industry experts, and take calculated risks to achieve success in all projects.

BEST MOMENTS

"So the only way we can make this work is I become equity in my equity sweat, and I make this work for you, but you cut me in the deal." 

"So the offer's been concluded. It's been accepted and concluded. So we've now got to put the meat on the bones and take it from there." 

"If I can teach you anything about developments, it's never, ever give up. Keep going. If you've got a dream, if you've got a belief, keep going, keep at it."

From World Amateur Kick Boxing Champion to Project Management of Multi Million £ Developments - with Gary Wilson

In this episode, I interview Stephen Gallagher, a commercial property investor, who shares insights into his background in aerospace engineering and financial services, as well as his journey into property investment. He discusses his investment model with SSAS and details a successful project in Wishaw near Glasgow, where he transformed a CMO (Commercial Multiple Occupancy) property into a thriving serviced office space.

Stephen elaborates on the financial aspects, including valuation, rental income, and the SSAS syndication strategy used for funding. He also touches on some future projects involving boutique apartments and aparthotels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Stephen's investment strategy with SSAS is the prime example of how to get good returns within a pension scheme.
Stephen emphasises the importance of collaborating with others in the industry, sharing knowledge, and building relationships with professionals and investors.
Starting with smaller projects, like the one in Hamilton, can build confidence and provide a stepping stone for larger commercial property investments.
Utilising professional services like quantity surveyors and other experts can help in navigating construction costs, planning permissions, and other challenges in property development.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think engage with some folks that are doing it. I found quite a few individuals dotted around the country, around the UK, who are doing similar things who are incredibly helpful." 

"I think one of the things I noticed as well going around yours, because you're getting great rates for your spaces, is when you have a very large building it's difficult to have scarcity."
