A conversation with Amy Roost and Natalia Alvarez on Harneys Fiduciary’s UK service expansion
In this Q&A with Managing Director, Amy Roost and Director, Natalia Alvarez explore what this offering means to Harneys Fiduciary and what sets the business apart in this competitive market.
Harneys Fiduciary provides a full range of services for UK companies, including company formation in England and Wales, assistance with the Register of Overseas Entities, and a full suite of compliance solutions, corporate services, fund services, and private wealth management.
What does this expansion into the UK mean for Harneys Fiduciary?
Amy: This is a really exciting step for us. The UK is a key market, not just because of its reputation as a global financial hub, but because so many of our clients already have a footprint here. Expanding our services allows us to offer a more seamless, integrated experience across jurisdictions. It’s about being where our clients need us.
Natalia: Exactly. London is a natural fit, it’s a central hub for international business, and we’re now able to provide our services right on the ground. With regulations evolving quickly, clients are looking for reliable partners who understand the landscape and can guide them through it. That’s where we come in.
Why is the UK such an attractive jurisdiction for company formation?
Amy: The UK offers a stable, transparent business environment, with a clear regulatory framework and a competitive tax system. It’s long been a destination of choice for global businesses. Developments like the Register of Overseas Entities also highlight the growing need for robust compliance and that’s an area where we bring real strength.
Natalia: We’re seeing a real increase in demand, particularly from international investors and private wealth clients, who want solutions that are efficient but also fully compliant. The regulatory bar is rising, and businesses need support to stay ahead of it. Because we operate globally, we bring a wide perspective that helps our clients make smart, strategic decisions.
What are the main goals for the UK team and where do your strengths lie?
Amy: Our aim is to make it easier for businesses to navigate what can often be a complex environment. Whether it's corporate, institutional, or private clients, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, we take the time to understand each client’s needs and tailor our services accordingly.
Natalia: It’s about simplifying things. We take care of the details, so our clients can focus on the bigger picture. That’s what we love doing, making things straightforward and giving clients peace of mind.
What makes Harneys Fiduciary different from other providers in this space?
Amy: We’ve been in this industry for over 50 years, which says a lot about the relationships we’ve built and the trust clients place in us. We’ve adapted to countless changes over the years, but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to client service and staying on top of evolving regulations.
Natalia: What stands out to our clients is the way we combine global capabilities with a personal touch. We’re known for being responsive, technically sharp, and genuinely invested in helping our clients succeed. We don’t just deliver a service, we build relationships.
