How we work

  • Every number is traced to a source before anyone sees it.
  • If it can't be evidenced, it comes out, and we tell you what would put it back.
  • We'd rather take a number out than have an investor find it.
  • Work is scoped in writing and priced as a job. It starts when both sides have signed.
  • A person reads everything you send.

What we're not

We're not authorised to advise on or arrange investments. We don't raise money, promote investments or invest. Tax and legal questions go to your accountant and your solicitor.
