THE WEALTH PLANNING COMPANY

It is both. THE WEALTH PLANNING COMPANY is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for investment and advisory business, and its in-house solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. This dual structure allows the firm to provide financial advice and execute legal work — such as drafting wills, trusts, and shareholder agreements — without referring clients to an external firm.

The firm runs a range of centrally managed discretionary model portfolios. These portfolios hold direct equities, bonds, property, and alternatives. The firm avoids a fund-of-funds structure for its core models, instead selecting individual securities directly — an approach it believes improves tax efficiency and reduces total portfolio costs for clients.

The firm targets UK-domiciled entrepreneurs, business owners, and their families. Its service model is built around business exit planning — advising on the sale, managing the resulting cash, and planning for the intergenerational transfer of wealth through trusts, family investment companies, and inheritance tax strategies.

The firm is UK-regulated and its advice and legal capabilities are designed for UK-resident clients and their onshore structures. While its investment portfolios hold international equities and assets, the firm has not publicly expanded its advisory model to serve non-UK resident individuals or families.

No. THE WEALTH PLANNING COMPANY is independently owned and operated, with a partnership structure. It has not been acquired by a consolidator or private-equity-backed wealth management platform, which differentiates it from many mid-sized UK advice firms that have been rolled up in recent years.
