Ideal Clients
Clients who want a full financial life planning experience, and the services are particularly useful to anyone dealing with change (divorce, career change, retirement, bereavement).
Qualifications
Ideal client would be in the range of 40 to 60, typically professionals, who wish to get the best out of life
Compensation
Work is fee based, and fees for the initial work will depend on the complexities of the client's situation. Ongoing fees are a percentage of assets. Where commission is available on certain types of contract (protection), this can be used to offset fees. Any surplus commission is used to reduce premiums for said protection
