Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best

A hassle-free way of making your retirement a happy one


When you decide to retire, what are your options? You could sell your business as a going concern, or sell your client book to another professional intermediary. But this isn't always possible for everyone, so we've developed an easy and bespoke third option.

Paymentshield's Retirement Buyout (RBO) offers you benefits from all your hard work with minimal hassle. We simply provide you with a cash lump sum on retirement, in place of the future income from your existing portfolio of policies with Paymentshield. Each RBO valuation is calculated on key intermediary specific factors, such as; age of the portfolio, historic attrition rates and mix of current business.

As you will be retiring and leaving the industry, we will ensure that your Paymentshield clients are well taken care of by transferring their business to a specialist adviser within Towergate Group. We will handle the transfer for you, ensuring your customers are informed and the transfer goes smoothly. It's that straightforward.

Once you've retired, the next step's up to you

As our Retirement Buyout is such a simple process and your clients are taken care of, your only concern is deciding what to do in your retirement.
