A Nationwide Network of Trusted IFAs

IFA Connect is proud to have a broad, ever-growing network of Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) covering the entire UK. Whether you’re based in a bustling city, a suburban town, or a rural village, we strive to ensure that expert, independent financial advice is always within reach. Our advisers are strategically located across the UK, serving individuals and families wherever they are.

We understand that finding the right financial adviser isn’t just about location—it’s about expertise. That’s why we focus on matching clients with IFAs who have the knowledge and experience to guide them effectively. While we always aim to provide a local adviser, there may be instances where the best-suited professional is based slightly further afield. In these cases, we ensure that distance is never a barrier to high-quality advice, whether through virtual consultations, phone appointments, or flexible meeting arrangements.

To be eligible for our network, IFAs must meet the following criteria:

All IFAs in our network must be authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This ensures compliance with strict industry standards, ethical guidelines, and consumer protection laws, safeguarding clients against misrepresentation and poor financial advice. Proof of FCA authorisation is a non-negotiable requirement, reinforcing our commitment to professionalism and integrity.
Every adviser must hold at least a Level 4 Diploma in Financial Planning (or an equivalent qualification). This certification demonstrates a technical understanding of investment principles, tax planning, pensions, protection, and financial regulations. However, many of our IFAs go beyond this minimum, holding advanced certifications such as Chartered Financial Planner.
Experience and reputation matter. We seek IFAs with a proven history of delivering ethical, high-quality financial advice. Advisers must demonstrate a commitment to client success, long-term financial planning, and adherence to best practices. Reviews, testimonials, and client feedback play a significant role in our assessment process.
Unlike restricted advisers who can only offer products from a limited selection of providers, independent financial advisers must be able to access and advise on the whole of the market. This ensures that clients receive truly unbiased recommendations tailored to their unique financial needs, without the influence of commission structures or corporate affiliations.

Expanding to serve you better

We are continually growing our network and welcoming new IFAs who meet our rigorous standards. This ensures that no matter what financial guidance you need - whether pension advice, investment planning, mortgage guidance, or estate planning - IFA Connect can match you with a trusted adviser who understands your needs. Our mission is to remove barriers to high-quality, unbiased financial advice, making it easy for people across the UK to connect with the right professionals for their circumstances.
