Financial planning

Local advisers. National strength.

Long-established firms across the UK.

Our financial planning business is built around quality regional advisory hubs — each directly authorised by the FCA. Behind them sits a central group structure that provides compliance, technology, investment management and operational support.

How we work

Long-term ownership. Local continuity.

Loyal North acquires established regional financial planning firms and works with them over the long term. The firm keeps its name, its team and its identity; clients keep the adviser they know and trust. What changes is what sits behind the firm — central support, modern technology, robust compliance, with access to institutional-level investment management capabilities that no individual practice could source or afford on its own.

Our firms

Regional firms, plus a UK-wide digital practice.

Each firm is authorised by the FCA and trades under its own brand, sharing group-wide compliance support, technology and investment infrastructure.
