As an independent IFA, the idea of running your own business and everything that comes with it, may be a daunting prospect. Here, how joining a trusted and established brokerage can help you unleash your potential.
In the dynamic world of financial advising, the power of choice is a game-changer. As an independent financial adviser (IFA), aligning with a brokerage that offers flexibility, independence and a supportive working culture can turbocharge your career. With a trusted brand, multiple provider contracts, and category licensing, a good brokerage can empower IFAs to grow their business by attracting new clients, leveraging existing relationships and providing exceptional service to their clients.
Independence with choice
A good brokerage offers IFAs the ability to operate as an independent intermediary, giving you the freedom to run your own practice within the security of a larger company structure. Case in point: With access to over 100 providers across all licence categories, GrowthHouse IFAs can offer all-inclusive financial planning to their clients, ensuring the best solutions tailored to their needs.
Turning analytics into opportunities
In the era of data-driven decision-making, it’s important that IFAs are equipped with powerful analytics tools and access to several providers. This ensures a higher conversion rate for opportunities and maximises your book. Our specialist desks provide tailored support to identify these opportunities and support the advice process, especially for advisers venturing into new lines of business.
Freedom with support
Joining a brokerage gives you the freedom to run your own business, while enjoying the security that comes with being part of a bigger company structure. This means you can enjoy the benefits of multiple contracts, various product options and a strong chassis of support. To ensure efficient practice operation, you get access to services like compliance and risk management, a payroll system, a customised commission tracking system, and tailored learning and training solutions. At GrowthHouse we also promote your personal brand within our national brand through co-branding opportunities and marketing toolkits
Empowerment for growth
IFAs should be empowered by their brokerage to reach new heights in their careers. GrowthHouse’s specialist desk lets you explore new product lines and leverage our wealth of experience to maximise your earning potential. Even if you’re not accredited to sell a product line, they will handle it all, while you still earn. Cultivate your client base and start building your empire with our unwavering support.
Planning for success
Being part of a brokerage gives you access to succession planning services to ensure the sustainability of your business and helping you secure your financial future. You’ll receive help in developing an exit strategy, providing well-thought-out succession plans and guidance on enhancing the value of succession.
Seamless transition
From the moment you join, you’ll experience the benefits that come with being part of a bigger organisation – including a streamlined process for transferring your book of business, a dedicated admin hub, legal advice, specialist desks for each product line, and an attractive referral programme and fee structure. Comprehensive onboarding, full administrative support, dedicated provider support, business consultant introductions, and pricing advantages are among the perks you’ll enjoy.
Running your own FSP is a daunting prospect. Joining a brokerage mitigates the risks associated with starting your own business and equips you with the support you need so that you can provide sound advice, and focus on fostering long-term relationships and creating wealth for your clients.
