The Advice Process

When you’ve got the rest of your life ahead of you, it pays to spend a bit time exploring and understanding your options. At Artisan Financial Services, we take time getting to know you, we look at your current financial situation and where you intend to head in the future. Then we work out ways to get there. Here’s how we do it.

Step 1
INITIAL CONSULTATION
A meeting where we discuss your current situation, goals and potential future risks. We’ll also cover who we are, our advice services and how we are remunerated and let you make your mind up about our services.

Step 2
COLLECT INFORMATION
Upon establishing the potential to improve on your existing strategy, Artisan Financial Services collects a range of qualitative and quantitative data to allow us to gain a deeper appreciation of the main areas in which we are able to assist. At this stage we may seek information from you regarding your goals and objectives, income, expenditure, liabilities and assets via the use of a fact finder and risk profiler. By collecting this information we are able to develop the framework necessary to create the right solution for you.
