Contact
Start with a conversation, not a commitment.
Reach The Workshop to arrange a confidential initial consultation at our Trnava office or via video call.
What to expect when you contact us.
When you send an enquiry, a named adviser reads it — not a triage team. We respond within two working days with a short note either confirming that we can help and proposing a time for an initial call, or being direct that your situation falls outside what we do well. Initial consultations run approximately sixty minutes. There is no charge, no obligation, and no follow-up pressure. We will ask you a small number of structured questions about the size and nature of your assets, your current advisory relationships, and the problem you most want to solve. That information allows us to assess whether we are the right firm for your situation — and it allows you to assess us. If we proceed, terms of engagement are set out in a short written letter and agreed before any work begins.

Common questions before the first conversation.
What size of portfolio do you typically work with?
Most of our clients hold investable assets of €500,000 or more. Below that threshold, the cost of structuring engagements tends to outweigh the benefit. We will always tell you honestly if we think that applies to your situation.
Do you work with clients outside Slovakia?
Yes. A significant proportion of our engagements involve clients resident in Austria, the Czech Republic, or Hungary, or clients with assets spread across multiple EU jurisdictions. We work in English and Slovak.
How are your fees structured?
All fees are fixed or hourly and agreed in writing before work begins. We do not charge on assets under advisory, and we receive no commissions from any product provider. The cost of a diagnostic engagement typically ranges from €1,500 to €3,500 depending on complexity.
How long does an engagement typically take?
A focused risk diagnostic takes four to six weeks. A full structuring engagement runs eight to sixteen weeks. Insurance wrapper installations vary by carrier but typically complete within ten to fourteen weeks of carrier selection.
Can The Workshop act as my primary financial adviser?
We can serve as a client's principal advisory relationship, but we are not a substitute for a qualified tax adviser or solicitor. We actively coordinate with those professionals and work best where they are already in place.
The first step takes five minutes.
