PLANNING A MOVE TO FRANCE?

Moving to France Power Hour - 1:1 Strategy Session with Ben Small

You probably already have a plan.

The Moving to France Power Hour is designed to help you make sure it’s the right one.

Most people who book this session have already spent months researching their move to France. They’ve read the blogs, joined the Facebook groups, watched the videos and built a plan that seems logical on paper.

What they’re really looking for is:

An experienced second set of eyes
Someone to stress-test their plan
Help spotting the pitfalls they can’t see yet

That’s exactly what this session is for.

What the Moving to France Power Hour Is

The Moving to France Power Hour 1:1 Strategy Session with Ben Small is a 60-minute private review and planning session with Ben Small, founder of Ibanista.

It’s designed to help you:

Review your current moving plan
Identify gaps, risks, or unrealistic assumptions
Refine your strategy so it works in real life, not just on paper

You don’t need to book our rental, FX, or relocation services to book this session.
This call stands on its own.

What We’ll Work Through Together

We’ll use the hour to review and refine what you already have, focusing on what matters most right now.

Depending on your situation, we can cover:

A full review of your moving plan (timeline, order of steps, priorities)
Where people commonly lose time, money, or flexibility
Renting vs buying and whether your current thinking supports your goals
Foreign exchange strategy and timing (often overlooked until it’s too late)
How housing, finances, and lifestyle choices interact
Emotional and practical blind spots when relocating to France
Any specific questions you want answered, nothing is off-limits

This is a collaborative, practical conversation, not a presentation.

What You’ll Leave With

By the end of the Moving to France Power Hour, you’ll have:

A clearer, more realistic version of your plan
Confidence that you’re focusing on the right steps in the right order
A better sense of what to do now and what can wait
Fewer unknowns, fewer assumptions, and fewer future regrets

Many clients say this session helps everything finally click.

Ben at IBANISTA was simply wonderful. He is so knowledgeable and efficient and held our hands throughout our purchase of a small second home in The South West of France. He maximised our funds and also gave us lots of helpful advice. No hesitation in recommending him to everyone- thank you Ben.

Many thanks to Ben and Richard for their sound advice, which was particularly valuable in volatile markets. Their responsiveness and availability were decisive in helping us achieve our objective under excellent financial conditions. A quality service, to be recommended without the slightest hesitation!

If finding an apartment in France seems daunting, then Ben Small is your secret weapon. What truly sets Ben apart is how he combines professional expertise with genuine kindness. After having Ben speak to my BootCamp group, everyone was impressed by his comprehensive knowledge and approachable style. He breaks down the complex process into manageable steps, sparing you from the bureaucratic marathon it could otherwise be. For anyone serious about finding a long-term rental in France, Ben Small isn't just helpful—he's essential.

Ben was recommended to us by our estate agent in France and I can see why. Ibanista (Ben) is more than just a currency agent, a whole lot more. He is always there if you need to speak to him and if he can’t speak immediately he’ll email you with a timeframe 🙂 Not only that, he produces highly informative podcasts. He is a one stop shop. I cannot thank Ben enough for his help. I’ve had many a wobbly moment along the way and he’s always been there to guide me and to steady my nerves; so easy to talk to and so knowledgeable. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Ben 🙂
