Sell your financial planning firm with confidence

As a financial planner, you have spent your career understanding your clients’ plans, hopes and aspirations, then putting the right structure in place to support them. When the time comes for your own exit and retirement, we believe it is only right that you receive the same consideration. 

Selling your business is one of the most significant decisions you will make in your career. Chapters Capital draws on a network of more than one hundred acquirers across the UK to help you find the right fit for you, your team and your clients.

Chapters Capital is a specialist M&A intermediary helping owners of IFAs, financial planning and wealth management firms across the UK sell their businesses.

The Chapters Capital approach

Financial advisers build lasting client relationships by listening carefully to their clients and understanding their priorities, before putting the right structure in place to support their plans. Our approach to advising sellers is no different. The "two ears, one mouth" approach, as one former seller put it, is how we enter into every conversation.

 

Selling a business is unfamiliar territory for most IFA owners. We strive to be a consistent, experienced presence to guide you through that process: understanding what matters to you, answering your questions as they arise, and matching you with the right acquirer.

What our clients say

Read postcards from our past clients.

"Simon assisted us with sale of our financial advisory business. The business was valued at 8 figures. He was immensely patient - negotiations took several months as we owned several interlinked firms. He has a real eye for detail. Clarifying and answering hundreds of questions. Best of all he is a thoroughly decent and caring chap.


I would recommend Chapters Capital to any serious minded seller or buyer of IFA businesses."
