Wealth Management and Financial Planning for Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Individuals

Wealth Management Services

For business owners, entrepreneurs and busy professionals, personal finances can often become secondary to the demands of running a business or managing a career. Yet the decisions you make today can have a significant impact on your future financial security and the legacy you leave behind.

At Clive Owen, we work closely with FCA-regulated financial adviser Evelyn Partners to provide integrated wealth management and financial planning services. Together, we help individuals, families and business owners make informed decisions about investing, retirement, succession and wealth preservation.

Every client has different priorities, ambitions and financial circumstances. Our approach is tailored to your specific objectives, helping you create a strategy that reflects your goals, appetite for risk and plans for the future.

Client perspective
In their words

Silcoates

Clive Owen LLP has been the ideal professional partner for the school for many years. Chris and his team are helpful, supportive and genuinely interested in our progress and success. With an extensive understanding of the education sector and its ongoing challenges, advice is pragmatic and clearly presented whilst projects are delivered in a timely and collaborative manner and within budget. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.

Stiller Warehousing & Distribution specialises in storing and distributing palletised goods. We have over 400,000 square feet of high-quality, food-grade ambient warehousing and a large distribution fleet. We also offer contract packaging and assembly services.
Recently, we expanded our contract packing operations. To refine our financial case and clarify our vision, we engaged Carl Wright and Joe Vera-Sanso from Clive Owen LLP’s grants advisory team. They helped us secure grant funding from the Durham Business Growth Programme.
Carl and Joe managed the entire bid writing process. They also supported us in discussions with the fund manager, UMi Commercial, and the Business Durham team. Their communication was excellent throughout. We secured substantial grant support, which gave us confidence to invest in our contract packaging division.
The Clive Owen team clearly has strong experience in grant applications. I highly recommend their services.

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your professionalism, wise counsel, and patience whilst supporting me with this [tax advice]. I’m conscious that the tight timeframe hasn’t made things easy, but you’ve handled it with composure and expertise – and I’m very grateful.

I’ve seen less precise and slower F1 pit stops than the service from Adam [Wingrove] and the team.

Clive Owen LLP supported me with my self-assessment tax return.

I was changing jobs at the time and for the first few months in my new role, I was unfortunately taxed at the wrong level. It got quite complicated and HMRC were giving me different codes weekly at one point!

I dealt with Lee Watson who was always available and happy to advise regarding any questions I had. He then did my self-assessment tax return to tie up the move of companies and help me get the correct tax code.

The flexibility to be able to contact Lee and get a reply the same day was just exceptional and gave me peace of mind and the confidence that I was following HMRC tax requirements correctly.

I would highly recommend Clive Owen LLP.  They offer excellent service, a quick response and I felt they were very reasonably priced.
