A tale of two advisers starting their business in 2020

Our founder Heather Hopkins, spoke on last week’s FTAdviser podcast. Heather mentioned that clients are taking longer to make decisions to implement financial plans and that the pandemic has had a bigger impact on the newest businesses.

“One of the things we heard from advisers a lot over the last year is that from the first meeting with a client until the advice is implemented that time has extended significantly, because people are taking a little bit longer to make a decision. And for a small business that is just starting out that can have a really big impact because it slows down the pace at which you can bring in clients and makes it hard to plan for the future.”
