subject: How to Raise Money Fast [print this page] If you feel that you have exhausted all of the usual ways for raising money then there is a provision within U.K. pension law that could allow you to release some of the money that you have invested into your pension over your working lifetime. If you are aged between 55 and 62 years old and hold a U.K. private or company pension which you are not already taking benefits from, even if you are not currently paying into it, you may be eligible to access up to 25% of your pension as a tax free lump sum. This can be done without having to retire and without having to take your retirement income through the purchase of an annuity. You can carry on working and continue to make further contributions to your pension which will continue to benefit from a tax efficient environment.
Before embarking on pension release you will need to seek the advice of an Independent Financial Adviser. Most Independent Financial Advisers will offer a free, no obligation review of your pension, or pensions, looking in detail at exit penalties and charges and at your own personal circumstances and situation. With this information they will be able to analyse the various options available to you. They will explain to you how taking benefits now will affect your retirement plans or your current tax situation and if you are currently receiving any state benefits they will let you know how taking your pension now could impact on them.

Because pension release will ultimately reduce the income that you will receive in retirement your financial adviser will make sure that you have looked at all the other possible alternatives for raising money and make sure that you are fully aware of the implications of embarking on pension release. The FSA see this as a high risk activity which should only be undertaken when all other avenues have been explored and it is therefore extremely important to remember that pension release is only suitable for a very limited number of people and circumstances.
