Market Consolidation in the IFA Sector
What impact has the pandemic had on the IFA sector and what do business owners need to be mindful of as the sector evolves?
Selling a business you have grown from the kitchen table can be a very nerve-wracking experience but thanks to the truly amazing Louise Mahon and her team at MacRoberts, we can confirm no nerves were wracked! We felt we were in very safe hands for the whole process, which not only covered the acquisition but also our reinvestment into the larger group. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
