Transparent, straightforward pricing. No hidden charges. The ayi's lunch is her own responsibility.
All Crestbridge fees are quoted annually and invoiced in Sterling. Payment is due in advance. We accept bank transfer, cheque, and in one memorable case, a car.
The Foundation
That's £400/month. Less than your gym membership you don't use. Your ayi certainly uses hers.
The Heritage
£800/month. Roughly what you'd spend on a family office in Geneva per hour. Ours comes with fruit.
The Legacy
£1,500/month. Still less than the service charge on a flat in Nine Elms. And your ayi doesn't have structural issues.
Available to all tiers. Billed separately.
| Additional desk photo | £15 | We ask your ayi to take an extra photo. She will comply. |
| Personalised WeChat message from ayi | £25 | A voice note from your ayi. You won't understand it. She won't know what it's for. |
| Emergency office visit (your visit) | £350 | We prepare your office for an in-person visit. Includes desk tidying, Solitaire minimising, and a printed quarterly report placed artfully on the desk. |
| Emergency office visit (ayi overtime) | £40/hr | Your ayi stays late. Overtime rates apply after 6pm. She expects tea. |
| Custom family crest design | £200 | We design a family crest for your ayi's uniform. Animals holding sporting equipment are popular. |
| Crayfish dinner receipt (framing) | £45 | Your ayi's crayfish receipt, professionally framed, as a memento of your Changsha operations. |
| Letter of introduction (Chinese) | £75 | A formal letter, in Chinese, on your family office letterhead, stating that you are an important person. No one will verify this. |
| Douyin endorsement | £150 | Your ayi mentions your family office in a Douyin video. She has 40,000 followers. None of them know who you are. |
