Bill Rowntree is from an entrepreneurial family, but  was an army officer before starting a business importing beer and wine.

At one point he employed over 150 people and on the sale of that business, with time and money in reasonable abundance, he decided to study law.

Bill Rowntree, studied law at Edinburgh university and went on to qualify and practice Corporate and IP law as a solicitor with a large firm.

He was attached to a family office working with high net worth individuals and in a 10 year span, was instrumental in raising almost £500m for start-up businesses and property developers.

Bill attempted to create a private fund and spent almost £100k on fees only to discover how banks really worked. 

This led to (a proven conspiracy) bankruptcy, losing his home and property business and other attempts to financially ruin him.

However, he learned from the experience and recovered by helping people prevent evictions, recover funds and find a sense of freedom from the system.

Cause no loss, harm, or injury. Be better than they are and quietly restore your financial position. Bill Rowntree is a pseudonym.
