FAQ's

 

what they say ...

 

Today I attended my first meeting, as a 'visitor', to decide whether I'd like to join.  Having ended the meeting with three prospective new clients, and a lot of very excited interest.  I'm in!  Wrap it, I'll take it!

AS

Visitor ... now a Member!

 

I just thought that you might like to know that I have just totalled up the amount of revenue TipTop generated through Athena referrals from June 2005 to end of June 2006 (my 1st year) and it came to: £24,740.12p.  Needless to say, I will be renewing my membership this year!

It was lovely to meet you today and I really did enjoy the meeting. Having been really apprehensive about the whole networking idea it was great to meet so many nice ladies in such a relaxed environment and to see networking happening naturally without any pressure.

I felt privileged to have been part of the workshop and will certainly digest and put into practice all that you have taught us.

Enjoyed being in an atmosphere that is both warm and ‘buzzing’ whilst increasing my knowledge and experiences of networking.

What I enjoyed about today's workshop was that I am learning more about the 'ease and grace' of networking ... it's finally becoming less daunting.  Thank you.

Diane Needham – Financial Advisor, Chessman & Partners

 

I am one of the most qualified Financial Advisers in the country, and I specialise in translating the complex world of finance into English. I am able to offer advice in the following areas:

 

·      Investments (how to invest your money to suit both your attitude to risk and your objectives, or simply reviewing your existing investments)

·      Life Assurance (easily overlooked but vitally important, I’ve never met a widow who said her husband had too much life cover. Its vital to protect your family)

·      Income Protection, to provide long term sick pay (the state benefits are too small to live on so its down to you to ensure your bills can be paid if you can’t work)

·      Pensions (very few people understand their pensions, or review the ones they have already set up.  All too often pensions are overlooked until later in life. I can help)

·      Drawing Your Pension Benefits (this decision is irrevocable and full of pitfalls. Ask me and I will ensure you get it right)

·      Long Term Care (funding nursing home fees, a very emotive area needing careful, sensitive handling)

·      Inheritance Tax Planning (no one wants to leave a tax bill for their beneficiaries)

 

The first meeting is FREE so why not book an appointment for a wealth check to see how I can help you.

 

Chessman & Partners are Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority, not all investments are suitable for everybody. The value of units can fall as well as rise, and past performance is no guide to the future. Inheritance tax advice is not regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
