Simplified savings
Running a business likely leaves you short on time, research says that only 14% of self employed people are saving into a pension. You might be focused on the day to day needs of your business, but it’s important to think about the future too.
Employees reap the tax rewards of a pension automatically, thanks to pre-tax contributions from their employer. What many don't realise is that the self-employed can take advantage too - you just need to start your own pension first.
That’s why we built a modern pension that takes only 5 minutes to set up and is effortless to use. Contributions can be made whenever you like, we automatically apply tax relief and you can choose four high performing funds to grow your savings.

Transfer old pensions
Previously worked as an employee? You probably have old workplace pensions that make it difficult to understand how much you have saved, and need to save, for retirement. There's the added stress of managing multiple old accounts and your savings may be invested in poor performing funds by default.
Combine your old pensions into a single Penfold account and you'll easily be able to see the total value of your savings and have access to our top performing funds. Transferring is free and our specialist team will manage it for you.
Once you've requested a pension transfer, we'll contact your previous providers and do the hard work for you. You'll be able to stay up to date with progress any time on your Penfold dashboard.
Flexible contributions
Whether you’re a freelancer, sole-trader, contractor or business owner your earnings probably aren’t easy to forecast.
Penfold is designed to adjust to your finances. Once you’re set up you can change, top-up, or pause payments instantly and at any time. If you’re unsure about how much to contribute, our pension calculator will help you decide how much to save to get the retirement you want.
Even better - self-employed workers get a 25% tax relief top-up on contributions. We organise this for you, automatically adding it to your pension. Subject to annual allowance. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
Optimise your finances
If you're a director or run a limited company you can make tax efficient pension contributions.
- Tax-free: Pension contributions from your limited company are classed as a business expense, so you won't pay any tax on these payments.
- Save up to 19%: Business contributions are deductible from your corporation tax bill. £1,000 paid into your pension cuts your tax bill by £190.
- Maximise your allowance: Business pension contributions can be made without the tax-free salary restriction that most people are subject to.
Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.

It is important to compare providers’ fees & any guaranteed benefits when deciding on whether to transfer, and be sure that the investments available are suitable for you. We cannot accept defined benefit pension transfers. If you decide to close your Penfold account and the value of your pot has gone down, the amount returned to the provider may be less than what you originally transferred.
Please know that if your employer is paying into your pension currently, transferring that pot may mean you lose out on their contribution. For more information on the risks see here.
