Are you a Financial Adviser or a small firm based within 80 miles of Bristol (M4 / M5 Corridors) considering retirement now or within the next 3 years and want your clients to continue receiving fully independent financial planning?
Option 1 – Immediate Buy-out
This is ideal if:
- You are considering retirement / semi-retirement now
- You want a fair price for your client bank
- You would like your clients to receive an ongoing service from a directly authorised, firm with open architecture
Option 2 – Deferred purchase
This is ideal if:
- You are seeking to retire in the short – medium term future (circa next 3 years)
- You would benefit from their various Adviser tools to enhance your service to clients, such as: regular marketing communication; centralised investment proposition – outsourced to external multi-award-winning fund managers with highly competitive pricing; paperless IT systems, in-house compliance
- Take away the hassle from you of compliance, GABRIEL returns, FCA Fees and FSCS levy, PI premium increases etc
- Ability to undertake a handover process of your clients to the new Adviser to ensure seamless transition of service
- With economies of scale on lower platform charges and investment management charges with a TER of c1.6%, there is a potential opportunity for you to increase Adviser Fees and enable you to increase your consideration value from sharing any uplift
Value: Generally 3.5x recurring fee income over a 2 year deal period. Under deferred purchases where an Adviser uplifts Adviser Fees from 0.5% to 1% the ultimate multiple could equate to over 5 times
Sale Type: Will consider share or asset purchases.
