Strategic Introductions & IFA M&A for Financial Services Firms

Since 2010, Fram has built relationships across the UK financial services market. That network - spanning wealth managers, asset managers, venture capital and private equity houses, consolidators, debt advisers, family offices and UHNW individuals - represents a valuable asset beyond recruitment alone.

With the amount of consolidation and M&A in wealth management, financial planning and IFA firms are particularly well placed to benefit from this network. However, we can help across the financial services space with strategic introductions.

We work with a select number of firms each year to facilitate connections that are often difficult to access through conventional channels. Whether you are preparing your business for sale, exploring succession options, seeking investment capital, or looking for the right buyer for your clients, we can help make the right introductions discreetly and professionally.

What we can help with

Capital Raising


Introductions to investors for firms seeking growth or investment capital.

Acquisitions & Growth


Introductions for firms looking to acquire IFAs, financial planning businesses or other suitable acquisition targets.

Business Sales & Succession


Introductions for owners considering a sale, merger or succession and looking for suitable buyers or strategic partners.

How it works

This is a relationship-led, highly confidential service. We take time to understand your objectives before making any introduction, and only facilitate connections where we believe there is genuine mutual interest.

We work with a limited number of firms each year, allowing every engagement the attention it deserves.

Our network includes

Consolidators · VC and PE houses · Family offices and UHNW individuals · Debt advisers · M&A professionals · Wealth and asset management firms
