IFAs: I Wanted You To See This

IFA’s: I Wanted You to See This! 

You have a massive opportunity here… The biggest opportunity that your IFA business has had for some time. 

The economy is contracting and although there are some people out there that say this is a terrible thing…

It doesn’t have to be! 

Think of the recession as a sharp curve on an auto racetrack. It is the best place to pass competitors however requires more skill to manoeuvre than the straights.

The best drivers apply the brakes just ahead of the curve (taking out excess costs), turn hard toward the apex of the curve (identify the short list of projects that will form the next business model), and accelerate hard out of the curve (spend and hire before markets have rebounded). 

So what specifically distinguishes eventual winners? 

Well you know the saying… ‘Offense is the best defence’, and the strongest IFA businesses coming out of the last recession went on the offense early, while many others just focussed on survival. 

And one of the smartest ways to mount your attack on the looming recession right now is through acquisition! 

Because planning those investments now helps to avoid paying a higher cost of capital later.

But, don’t forget this is a tenuous time and you cannot afford to go through it making mistakes. Download our eBook here to arm yourself with the 5 Fatal Errors that acquirers make when buying IFA businesses.
