We provide coordination, preparation, and support services across five main areas: Study Abroad Concierge, Wedding Services, Travel, Annual Events, and Business Advisory. We act as a professional intermediary connecting clients with qualified service providers.

Q: Are you a regulated financial services firm?

Q: Do you provide legal, tax, or immigration advice?

A: No. We are a non-regulated consulting firm and do not provide legal, tax, or immigration advice. When such professional services are required, we refer clients to appropriately licensed professionals (solicitors, barristers, chartered accountants, immigration advisors with OISC registration).

A: Trinity acts as a professional coordinator and facilitator. We:

Conduct needs assessment and consultation
Source and vet appropriate service providers
Provide project management and coordination
Offer templates, checklists, and readiness preparation
Facilitate communication between clients and service providers

We do NOT deliver the underlying services directly (e.g., we don't teach courses, perform legal work, or execute travel bookings ourselves).

Compliance & Liability

Q: Do you guarantee bank account approval or authority approvals?

A: No. Decisions are made independently by third parties (banks, universities, government authorities, etc.). We provide readiness preparation, document review, templates, and coordination support only. Trinity cannot influence or guarantee any third-party decisions.

Q: Who is responsible if a service provider fails to deliver?

A: The contractual relationship for service delivery exists between the client and the third-party service provider. Trinity is not liable for the performance, quality, or outcomes of third-party services. Clients should review all agreements with service providers directly and ensure appropriate insurance/protections are in place.

Q: Does Trinity handle client payments to third-party service providers?

A: No. Trinity does NOT process, handle, or act as intermediary for payments between clients and third-party service providers. All financial transactions occur directly between the client and the service provider. Trinity's fees are separate and cover only our coordination and advisory services.

Q: What happens if there is a dispute with a service provider?

A: Disputes must be resolved directly between the client and the service provider according to their contract terms. Trinity can assist with communication facilitation but is not a party to the dispute and bears no liability for resolution outcomes.

Q: Are you responsible for visa/immigration application outcomes?

A: No. Visa and immigration decisions are made solely by government authorities (Home Office, UKVI, embassies, etc.). Trinity provides document preparation support and coordination only. We cannot influence government decisions and are not liable for application outcomes.

Q: Do you guarantee university admissions or scholarship awards?

A: No. Admissions and scholarship decisions are made independently by educational institutions. Trinity provides application strategy, document review, and submission coordination but cannot guarantee any specific outcome from universities.

Q: Are client funds protected or held in trust?

All contractual relationships must be established directly between the client and the service provider. Clients retain full control and responsibility for all agreements they enter into.

Q: Are you an agent or intermediary for third-party service providers?

A: No. Trinity is an independent consulting firm and does not act as an agent, broker, or intermediary for any service providers. We do not receive commissions, kickbacks, or referral fees from vendors. Our sole revenue comes from fees paid by our clients for our coordination and advisory services.

Q: Do you make bookings or purchases using client payment credentials?
