Build your BR knowledge, join this Octopus Estate Planning webinar series.

 As the planning landscape continues to shift — and advisers still face pockets of uncertainty — many are revisiting how Business Relief (BR) can help clients pass on more of their wealth. Whether you’re exploring BR for the first time or haven’t previously worked with Octopus for this type of planning, now is a great moment to take another look.
 
To provide clarity and help you build confidence quickly, Octopus are launching the Octopus Estate Planning Series — a new, two‑part webinar programme. These sessions will give you practical, real‑world guidance on how to introduce BR into client conversations and position it effectively within broader estate planning.

Reintroducing OITSPlus

As part of the OITSPlus relaunch, Octopus are offering a 0% initial fee on OITSPlus until 30 April 2026 (eligibility criteria apply). OITSPlus brings together the efficiency of Business Relief with an added layer of reassurance: an insurance feature that can pay 40% of the initial investment to beneficiaries if an eligible death occurs within two years. It’s designed to support clients who value both effective planning and additional protection. ​Contact Octopus

 

Key risks to keep in mind:

This is a high-risk investment. The value of an investment, and any income from it, can fall as well as rise. Investors may not get back the full amount they invest.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules could change in the future.

Tax relief depends on portfolio companies maintaining their qualifying status.

The shares of unquoted companies could fall or rise in value more than shares listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. They may also be harder to sell.

For OITSPlus investors, the benefits offered by Octopus’ Insurance Policy only apply to eligible deaths. Ineligible deaths, or a misrepresentation in the health declaration could result in the Insurer refusing to settle a claim under the Insurance Policy.
