Wealth Creation

We think property is probably the most important part of your wealth management strategy.

This is because it is hard to become financially secure without owning at least one property. If you can own more than one, things get even better.

We advise on all forms of property: residential homes, investment properties and commercial properties

When you consider the impact of investment property, you find that being wealthy is really a matter of owning property. Therefore property simply must be a significant part of your financial plan.

You need to decide what to buy, how much to spend, how to borrow (and how much) and how to repay the debt if you want to make property investment work for you.

Basically, your wealth starts with property and expands from there. That’s why we do, too.

  • Creating a financial strategy for your life’s journey

  • Advise you on how to accumulate wealth

Family Business

Family businesses have special challenges arising from the one thing that usually makes them successful in the first place.

The drive and passion of the founder (or founders) who have built up the business, and the family relationships between the key players.

These founders are increasingly having to face the prospect of stepping back from the day to day running of the business.

Or eventually exiting the business completely, whether through an external sale or a succession event involving either the next generation of the family or key employees. That is, assuming there is someone ready and able to step up and take over.

These situations need careful planning, and may require a review of the business structure to ensure that it is suitable for a future transaction.

  • Succession & Next Generation Education and Planning

  • Coaching & Leadership – keeping the family unit working well together

  • Governance – the setting up of a family council advisory board for businesses

  • Growth & Protection – building the family wealth and protecting it

  • Taxation Advice – tax advice and planning, annual tax and accounting compliance obligations
