I would like to take a minute to discuss how our client process works.
Below are the steps that we follow to determine how we can add value and be of assistance in coordinating the different aspects of your financial plan. The entire plan is formulated within the confines of the current laws and regulatory framework.
- We meet and initially consult. This can help to establish common ground, values and possible obstacles. The meeting can determine whether we would be able to work together on the journey toward “mapping financial solutions”
- A list of documentation is normally requested. This includes and is not necessarily limited to:
a. Life Assurance portfolio – your permission to obtain this information
b. Up to date Financial Statements or Management Statements – Personal and Business – if you have these available.
c. The latest copy of your will
d. Buy and Sell Agreement – if you have a partner or partners in business.
e. Trust Deeds and Letters of Authority – if you have an existing Trust Deed - Once we are in possession of the above documentation we are normally able to determine if there are interrelated aspects that have not been addressed and to what extent our involvement can be of benefit.
- A benefit letter is drafted and discussed. The information highlights your present position and what benefits are possible.
- The 2nd letter details the investment or cost that is to be incurred and the terms on which Engagement can take place.
- An Engagement letter containing the detail of our agreement is drafted and signed.
- An invoice is generated and the 1st Payment is made.
- A step by step letter details the way forward and the journey to “mapping financial solutions” commences.
- Once the initial planning stage is complete, we monitor the plan and mentor clients to ensure compliance with statutory and in particular SARS requirements.
I hope that the client process described can remove uncertainty as to how we engage clients and help them to enjoy the benefits of the innovative and valuable service that has been developed to address every client’s unique needs.
