Are you a Financial Advisory business with £20m to £200m of FuM and wanting to sell to a fully independent firm who isn’t looking to make any changes to investments or charges during the deferred period?
Acquisition Options
Sell and Go whilst undertaking handover meetings for a smooth transition.
Acquisition Deal Value
Would consider paying 3 to 4 times recurring income for the right IFA business with a payment structure, typically over 2/3 years.
The Company
This international business was established in 2018 with a UK office in Hertfordshire and a number of offices across America, Australia and Dubai. Across the group they now have around 300 staff and have grown from £30m AuA to just over £1bn AuA. In the UK they have 28 authorised financial advisers and are seeking to grow through acquisitions.
Whilst they have a preference for model portfolios and UCITS, they have open architecture where there will be no rush to move acquired clients from their existing investment mandates, unless in the clients’ best interest.
Ongoing charge is predominantly 1% however for clients with £750k+ they charge 0.75% and for clients with £1m+ they charge 0.5%. Ongoing advice fees are unlikely to be changed in the short-term following acquisition.
Their client satisfaction score of 4.9 out of 5 from multiple clients is shown through their excellent status on the consumer review platform, Trustpilot.
