IFA sector specialism

Built around the economics credit scrutinises.

Recurring revenue, client retention, adviser capacity and regulatory change determine what an advice firm can borrow.

We turn those drivers into decision-grade MI, defendable forecasts and a capital pack lenders can approve. Use the funding for acquisitions, succession, shareholder exits or organic growth.

Common funding questions

Good finance starts with a clear brief.

What is cashflow finance?

Cashflow finance is business funding structured around cash a company generates or expects to generate. It includes working capital loans, revolving credit, invoice finance and other debt facilities.

Can wealth management firms raise acquisition finance?

Yes. Wealth managers, IFAs and advice firms may use acquisition finance for client books, succession or management buyouts, subject to underwriting and regulatory considerations.

How quickly can finance be arranged?

Timing depends on the product, the quality of information and transaction complexity. A complete funding pack and clear forecast make assessment more efficient.

What will lenders ask to see?

Expect recent management accounts, filed accounts, bank statements, forecasts, existing debt details and a clear explanation of the funding purpose.
