The Value

What a collection like yours has to gain.

Every hour your team spends chasing a document or a folder, sourcing transport, or wondering whether the insurance is still current and correct, that all has a cost. Every year an agreed value drifts against a changing market, and a gap opens between what a car is worth and what it's covered for.

A note on the maths. Time-reclaimed numbers use two rates. Admin hours are costed at $60 /hour, the hourly cost of the person on your side who would otherwise be handling the task: EA, PA, family-office admin. Professional hours, which arise only in the estate and tax line, are costed at $250 /hour. That figure sits at the bottom of the published English guideline hourly rates for 2026, which run from £200 for a Grade C solicitor outside London to £579 for a Grade A solicitor in central London, roughly $256 to $742. Robert Walters UK salary data (2026) puts an experienced London EA at £24 to £28 per hour on base salary. Once employer costs (national insurance, pension, benefits, agency margin) are added in, the fully-loaded cost typically rises to £40 to £57 per hour, which converts to roughly $50 to $72 in USD. Our $60 figure sits at the midpoint of that fully-loaded band, and well below senior family-office staff on published family-office cost benchmarks (UBS, J.P. Morgan, Campden Wealth, Morgan Stanley, 2026). Losses-avoided numbers combine avoided damage (fuel, storage, cold-start), avoided fines, avoided vendor waste from unaudited subscriptions, and coverage-gap protection tracked against real market movement.
