Introduction
Regency Independent Financial Advisers is a family IFA practise that specialises in providing a highly personalised ongoing financial planning service.
We are fee-based and we do not accept any clients on a commission only basis.
Barry Williams provides all advice; he is a ‘general practise’ IFA with over 17 years experience.
We meet our clients by appointment in our Dover office. Our office is in a Grade 2 listed building and for those people with accessibility problems we will make alternative arrangements. We usually see clients during the daytime, Monday to Friday, but will work one Saturday a month and one evening a week to help those who cannot make a mid-week daytime meeting.
Barry developed ‘The Confident Future Solution’ as a business model designed to extend affordable fee based advice to the mass market.
