Question 4

How do you charge for your services?

Our fees depend on the complexity of your financial needs. We are always transparent about costs and discuss them upfront before any advice is provided. Fees may be based on a fixed rate, hourly rate, or a percentage of assets under management.

Question 5

What is your process for new clients?

Question 6

Do you offer a free initial consultation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer an initial consultation at no cost or obligation. This meeting helps us understand your needs and gives you a chance to see if we’re the right fit.

Question 7

How often will my financial plan be reviewed?

Accepted Answer

We recommend an annual review at minimum, though clients can request more frequent check-ins. Regular reviews ensure your plan remains aligned with your goals and any changes in legislation or market conditions.

Are your advisers regulated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our advisers are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). You can verify our registration on the FCA’s Financial Services Register.

Our core services include retirement planning, investment management, tax-efficient strategies, protection (life insurance, income protection, private health insurance and critical illness cover), mortgages for individuals and businesses, bridging & development finance solutions, and estate planning. We also offer advice for business owners and trusts.

You can contact us through our website, call our office, or email us to arrange your free initial consultation. We’ll guide you through the next steps and what information to prepare.

Question 11

Does Richmond King look after wealthy private clients only?

Accepted Answer

We believe wealth planning is not the exclusive preserve of the rich and famous, so we make our services available to those on their wealth building journey as well as those who are already super wealthy.

Question 12

I’m a high earner, but I don’t own the business. Are there any tax planning opportunities available to me, given that all my income is taxed at source before I even receive it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, even as a PAYE high earner, there are several tax planning opportunities you can use to optimise your position and reduce your overall tax liability, and we can help you explore which ones are most suitable for your particular circumstances and goals.
