A Small Self Administered Scheme (SSAS) is a company scheme where the members are usually all company directors or key staff.
A SSAS is set up by a trust deed and rules and allows members and employers greater flexibility and control over the schemes assets.
The allowable investments for a SSAS are broadly the same as those for a SIPP with the following exceptions:
Loans can be made to the sponsoring employer
Shareholdings in the sponsoring employer should not exceed 5%
SSAS' may also borrow to invest and provide a members benefit which has become payable. The maximum amount that can be borrowed is 50% of the net scheme assets.
