Putting your family first, the way we'd want for our own
Futura Planning Ltd was founded by Steve Ryan with a simple goal: to make estate planning straightforward, honest and genuinely personal, for every family we work with across Bristol, Bath and North Somerset.
- Family run, locally based
- Qualified, insured SWW members
- Honest advice, always
Who we are
A family run business, built on trust
Futura Planning Ltd was set up by Steve Ryan and is proudly family run. That matters to us, because it shapes the way we work with every client. We treat your family's future the way we'd want our own treated: with care, honesty, and attention to detail.
Steve set up the business because he believes every family in the area deserves access to clear, trustworthy estate planning advice, delivered by people who actually live and work in the community they serve. Trust matters more in this line of work than almost any other, and we want to build a business that earns it, through honesty, transparency and genuinely doing right by every client.
As a smaller, local business, you won't be passed between departments or left waiting weeks for a response. You'll deal with people who know your name, understand your circumstances, and are genuinely invested in getting things right for you.
What guides us
Ethical advice, always
We believe good estate planning advice should always put the client first. That means being straightforward about what you need, and honest when something is not necessary.
Genuinely right for you
We recommend what is right for your circumstances, not what is easiest or most profitable for us.
Upfront about costs
Clear about costs, timescales, and what is involved from the outset. No surprises.
Time to understand you
We take the time to understand your family, your wishes, and your concerns before recommending anything.
Honest, even when it costs us
We are honest when something is not necessary, even if it means a smaller fee for us.
