I now feel much more confident and at ease about my family’s move to the UK, knowing exactly how to proceed.
Alex's Story
I will be emigrating with my family next month, and my main concerns relate to inheritance tax planning, property purchase strategies, the practical implementation of generating passive income under FIG rules, and how to legally and effectively minimise tax while ensuring a smooth transfer of wealth to the next generation.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Benson from Smallfish. I have already learned a great deal from his YouTube sharing, but I still had many questions specific to my own situation. During our consultation, Benson was extremely organised and professional. Before the meeting, he carefully reviewed and consolidated all my questions—over 20 in total—and then addressed each one clearly and systematically during our session, focusing on the key tax implications.
His guidance helped clarify many areas that were previously unclear to me, and allowed me to restructure my plans in a more logical and coherent way.I now feel much more confident and at ease about my family’s move to the UK, knowing exactly how to proceed.
I am especially grateful to Benson for his genuine desire to help and for the thoughtful opinions he provided. Beyond UK-related matters, he also unexpectedly reminded me of important issues to consider in Hong Kong, particularly regarding wills and estate planning. This made me realise that these are not just concerns for the ultra-wealthy—ordinary families like mine, who are planning to emigrate to the UK, also need to be aware of them.
Thank you once again to Smallfish Benson for your invaluable support.

At first, I expected him to simply tell me what I should do. Instead, he ... lays out the different options, explains them clearly and in detail, and gives me the confidence to make my own decisions.
Ms Lee's Story
I found Benson to be a very trustworthy, professional, and detail-oriented financial coach.What I especially appreciated was his ability to understand my blind spots and help me recognise the areas where I still lacked financial knowledge.
At first, I expected him to simply tell me what I should do. Instead, he was very patient and helped me understand that his role was not to make decisions for me, but to lay out the different options, explain them clearly and in detail, and give me the confidence to make my own decisions.
I have learned a great deal from working with Benson. One of the most valuable things he taught me was how to take a comprehensive look at my overall net worth and then consider different strategies and investment vehicles that might be suitable for me. This has helped me think more clearly about how I can build greater financial security for my long-term future without sacrificing the quality of life I enjoy today.
I would warmly recommend Benson to anyone who wants to gain a clearer understanding of their current financial situation, especially those who may not yet have the knowledge or confidence to compare and evaluate different investment options. He takes the time to understand what matters most to you and helps you gradually build a financial plan that gives you the security you need while also supporting the lifestyle you aspire to.

Pansy's story
Because my son settled in the UK, I have been following Benson’s YouTube channel for a long time and have benefited greatly from it. UK taxes can be incredibly complex, but Benson always explains them with clear, simple charts that make everything easy to understand at a glance. Even so, there were times I still had questions, so I was glad to find that Benson offers financial coaching at very reasonable rates.
Thank you, Benson, for helping me make informed and wise decisions on matters I was previously hesitant about.

“Particularly helpful for navigating the unique investment and tax arrangements required in the UK.”
Ken & Mercy’s Story
Although I have always invested in stocks and bonds and hold a degree in accounting, that didn’t necessarily mean I had reflected enough on my own financial planning and retirement arrangements.Benson’s financial coaching helped my wife and me rethink how we need to prepare and allocate our assets, especially regarding the specific arrangements required for the UK investment landscape and tax system.
Benson’s easy-going yet meticulous approach made us feel like we were consulting with an old friend during every session. Thank you, Benson.
