Our services

Protection for businesses

The death or disability of a key business owner can materially disrupt operations and threaten long-term continuity.

Silvertree structures tailored solutions to safeguard businesses against unforeseen events and ensure resilience.

Protection for individuals

Personal financial planning helps you manage, grow, and deploy your resources to achieve your financial goals while safeguarding against life’s uncertainties.

It is an ongoing, adaptive process - continuously refined as your needs, priorities, and circumstances evolve.

  • Wealth planning

    Wealth planning brings structure and purpose to your financial life—aligning investments, income, and capital with your long-term objectives.

    We focus on preserving and growing wealth across generations, while managing risk, tax efficiency, and liquidity with precision.

    The outcome is a clear, coordinated strategy designed to support both lifestyle and legacy.

    Estate and intergenerational succession planning

    We structure the efficient transfer of wealth across generations in line with your wishes.

    Our approach addresses liquidity, tax efficiency, and governance to protect assets and reduce complexity for your beneficiaries.

    The result is a clear succession plan that preserves wealth and ensures continuity.

  • Tax planning

    We incorporate tax considerations into your overall financial plan to improve efficiency and long-term outcomes.

    Within the scope of financial advice, we focus on structuring investments and income in a tax-aware manner, in coordination with your tax practitioner where appropriate.

    The aim is to support more effective wealth accumulation and preservation over time.

    Employee benefits

    We design and implement employee benefit solutions that support business continuity and staff wellbeing.

    This includes group risk cover - life, funeral, disability, and dread disease - and group retirement fund solutions tailored to your workforce.

    The outcome is a structured benefits offering that supports retention, protection, and long-term financial security for employees.

  • Key Person assurance

    We structure key person cover to protect your business against the financial impact of losing essential employees or directors.

    This ensures continuity by providing liquidity to stabilise operations, manage disruption, and support strategic recovery.

    The result is stronger business resilience and reduced dependency on any single individual.

  • Contingent liability assurance

    We structure contingent liability cover to protect your business against financial obligations triggered by defined events.

    This ensures liquidity is available when needed, reducing pressure on cash flow and supporting continuity during periods of disruption.

    The result is greater financial stability when it matters most.

  • Buy-and-sell agreement

    We structure buy-and-sell cover to facilitate the transfer of ownership in the event of death or disability of a business partner.

    This ensures the agreed value can be funded without disrupting operations or placing strain on the business.

    The result is a smooth transition and certainty for all parties.

  • We have partnered with Silvertree for a number of years to manage our defined contribution pension scheme. The personal and customised service and advice we receive, along with regular engagement and risk assessment, puts Silvertree over and above what any major corporate firm could provide to our medium-sized busines.

  • Alison has been my financial advisor for over 10 years. Together, we have actively monitored and reviewed my financial objectives towards financial freedom in my retirement. I find Alison to be extremely knowledgeable and personable and, together with Heather, they provide efficient, friendly and helpful service. They are always available should I have questions or require assistance. I highly recommend their services as I feel assured that my best interests are always served.
