Founding Specialists
Help retire abroad clients arrive prepared and keep your discovery calls sane
Retire-Map is building the pre-advisor decision engine for people one to five years from retirement or semi retirement who are considering moving abroad.
If you advise on cross-border retirement, tax, pensions, residency, wealth structuring, healthcare planning, or expat relocation, we would like you as a Founding Specialist. Limited founding slots. Practical benefits. No fluff.
Why this exists
- Fewer dead end enquiries
- More prepared clients
- Faster, more productive calls
- Reduced average time per client
Impartial comparisons
Clients compare countries using consistent criteria so the short list starts clean.
Scenario clarity
Budgets, healthcare, timing, and life model are captured before they speak to you.
Client dossier
A simple dossier replaces rambling and keeps your first call focused.
The problem you already know
- A best country list and a holiday photo
- No clarity on full emigration versus split life
- Fuzzy budgets and unrealistic assumptions
- Little understanding of residency creep and timing
- A pile of questions with no organised facts
That turns your first call into therapy, admin, and myth busting.
What Retire-Map changes for you
- Compare countries using well rounded and consistent criteria
- Model scenarios for costs, healthcare, and timing
- Clarify full emigration versus split living
- Produce a simple client dossier for faster advice
Result: fewer dead end enquiries, more prepared clients, and more productive calls.
