Being your own boss can be exciting and rewarding. But there is a downside – no company pension, no PAYE and if you don’t work, you don’t earn. Plus, when you’re trying to keep a business afloat, your own personal finances are often last on the priority list. This time we help entrepreneur, Jessy, understand how to create financial security for her business and herself.

Pete Komolafe, founder of Conversation of Money, joins us this week to help Jessy on her path to financial confidence. And Matt Frain, Advice Director for Legal & General Financial Advice, is back with some sage advice on saving for now and the future.
