THE SECTOR OF FINANCIAL ADVICE IS FACING NEW CHALLENGES IN THE COMING YEAR.

Clients – particularly High Net Worth Individuals, are more informed about investing opportunities. They’re quick to seek other investment options if they feel that their assets are not being looked after as they wish. Investing in better software technology or outsourcing your product research has become business-critical, not just a nice-to-have. In addition, the industry is finding it harder to attract and retain top talent

Servicing valued clients is simply costing advisers and practices more.

The lifecycle of a business means that you, or your clients, are likely to need funding options for the next level of growth. A business development loan could be invested in IT, cybersecurity, digital marketing or even larger premises. As you grow, so does your Tax liability – often managed by short term loans that won’t impact your cashflow. You may even consider a Partner buy-out or look to utilise acquisition funding to acquire a competitor.

In our experience, High Street banks can sometimes seem less supportive of IFAs. We specialise in your profession and understand the specific needs that Financial Advisors face. Whether you or your clients need funding options for Tax, capital investment, or acquisition funding, we can help.

Nicki was very helpful and kept us up to date with everything - even when she had time off she made sure we were updated. Whenever there was a query she got to it quickly and helped us understand the issue so we could answer and solve it straight away. It became a very simple process so we could focus on our business.
Very helpful and kept up to date with everything
Stuart was quick to understand our requirements and was able to recommend a cost-effective solution. The process was professional and efficient from start to finish. Each stage was explained thoroughly and our documents checked by the team, so we could get things right first time - we would not hesitate to go back to Acorn Business Finance for any future requirements.
A really positive experience
5 stars from start to finish. Stuart and his team were fantastic!
5 stars from start to finish
Stuart at Acorn was superb. Understood our fully requirements, engaged with us pro-actively throughout. Could not have been more helpful. Organised all the funding requirements we needed at excellent rates. Could not recommend enough.
Engaged with us pro-actively throughout
All the team have been extremely helpful and kept me in the loop with progress reports as we have gone along. I would definitely recommend Stuart and Cathy for their helpful attitude, nothing has been too much trouble during a time that has been stressful for our business.
Taken the stress away
Amazingly quick to get the deal done from start to finish, and to get the money into the bank. A breath of fresh air and the wonder why everyone else can't work like this. Thoroughly recommended.
Amazingly quick
I have dealt with Stuart and his team at Acorn Finance for a number of years now and they are very efficient, always keep you updated, and you receive a personal service. They understand our business needs. The CBILS Loan from initial enquiry to funds in the bank less than a week. I would highly recommend them.
Speedy Personable Service - Highly Recommend
Truly fantastic and dependable service. In such turbulent times and with the criteria for meeting CBILS loans incredibly high, having a dependable broker that is willing to spend the time to truly understand your business needs as well as having a deep-rooted understanding of ever-changing requirements from such a vast array of providers is invaluable. Highly recommended.
