Thank you to Karen Jackson at didlaw for alerting us to this in her very useful blog.
In a nutshell – businesses are no longer required to provide access to a stakeholder pension scheme & if they have less than 30 staff they also don’t need to comply with the auto-enrollment requirements until 2015.
We can’t give pensions advice as we are not authorised or regulated to do so, but we strongly recommend that businesses discuss all of this with a financial advisor or pension provider.http://www.didlaw.com/blog/general/stakeholder-pensions-adieu/
