Set up a UK limited company this year and now looking at setting up a private pension properly.

Never done anything with a private pension before so a bit unsure on the tax side of it all and whether things work differently through a LTD company. For example do I take the money out personally and invest it, or does the business pay directly into the pension?

Not sure whether it’s worth going through a financial advisor or just managing it myself through Vanguard etc. Advisor I spoke to charges around 4% on the first £100k.

For people here that run LTD companies:

• Did you use a financial advisor?
• Is it actually worth it?
• Or is doing it yourself fairly straightforward once setup?

Would appreciate any advice before I commit either way.

I’ve been building solo for years now and I’m starting to realise I probably need someone experienced to bounce ideas off occasionally.

Not even looking for some massive coaching program or “10x your business” type thing. More just someone who has actually built/scaled companies before and can help sanity check decisions, direction, hiring, focus etc.

How do people actually find good mentors? Did you find them naturally through networking? Pay for them? Cold DM founders you respected? Or is mentorship overrated and I should just keep figuring it out solo?

The quality of Tailwind CSS templates these days is terrible. They either look bland, empty, and all the same, or just… off. It really takes time to design a brand that fits properly into a site.

I know AI can now copy, steal, and mimic designs you give it, but still. Starting with a template rarely feels right. The dev community is crying out for a solid set of well-designed templates.

Small cry for help. We need a switched on designer (with taste) to start building quality templates. Ready to buy!
