Important information
Ask Sheldrake is an educational planning tool. It uses automated technology to explain planning concepts and to organize the information you provide. It does not provide insurance quotations, sell or bind insurance, recommend specific insurers or products, or give legal, tax, accounting or investment advice, and using it does not create an advisor-client or other professional relationship.
Calculations are indicative, based solely on the figures you enter, and are not valuations or insurance needs analyses. Any insurance recommendation should follow an individual needs-based analysis by a licensed advisor. Tax and legal rules change; confirm anything that matters with your accountant and lawyer.
Please do not enter health information, names, account or policy numbers, or other identifying details; approximate figures are enough. Your messages are processed by an artificial-intelligence service provider, and the facts you describe are organized into planning notes and a brief. Conversations are stored securely to operate and improve the service and are handled as described in the privacy statement.

A planning question is usually a good place to start.
Most owners who come to Sheldrake do not arrive with a product in mind. They arrive with a question that has been sitting unresolved: whether the shareholders' agreement would actually work, what the estate would owe, how to be fair to children who will not all inherit the business.
Ask Sheldrake works through that question the way a first meeting would. It answers directly, asks for the one fact that would change the answer, and keeps a clear record of what is known, what appears to be an issue, what is being assumed, and what needs a professional to review.
Explains the planning issue in plain language, runs simple indicative calculations with the working shown, and organizes the facts into a brief you can keep or send.
Quote, sell or recommend insurance, interpret your agreement or will, or give tax or legal advice. Those decisions belong with licensed professionals, at the table together.
