A new retirement planning scheme will be launched by the National Eyecare Group (NEG) at Optrafair called Practice Purchase Plan (PPP). Practice owners would be able to build up a fund over either 20 or 25 years under the plan, before on retirement selling the business and receiving an additional cash lump sum from the PPP. If a buyer could not be found then the PPP would purchase the practice for the full value of the fund, NEG said. Visit stand F67 for further information.
