About IFA Consolidators
Joseph Ellul (5 Dolce Vita Corte, Triq San Mikiel, San Gwann, SGN 2303, Malta). One person runs this site and reads every brief it takes.
Why this site exists
No one publishes a whole list of the groups buying UK advice firms, and most of them state no size at all. We read 23 groups' and sources' own pages on 28 October 2026; 3 state their client assets. This site is that list, every source named and dated.
Who it is for
Anyone weighing up buying a UK advice firm, or selling one, who wants to see who the buyers are and what each says about itself before talking to any of them.
What is on this site
One question, "ifa consolidators", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- IFA consolidators by the client assets they state: The three UK IFA consolidators that state their client assets on their own home page, the figure each prints and the day we read it.
- The UK IFA consolidators that state no client assets: Twelve UK groups that buy financial advice firms and state no client asset figure on the page we read on 28 October 2026, listed by name.
- List of IFA consolidators in the UK: A list of 15 UK IFA consolidators, each read off its own home page on 28 October 2026, with the client assets the three that state one print.
- FCA change in control: the thresholds when you buy an IFA: The FCA controller bands a buyer of a UK advice firm crosses, how long an approval lasts and the offence for buying without one, from the FCA and FSMA 2000.
What it does not do
- No ranking, no best-of list and no scores: a figure is the group's own.
- No paid placement, no affiliate links and no sponsored rows.
- No invented figure: a group that states nothing is listed as stating nothing.

This is a free information site run by Joseph Ellul. When you send a brief, he reads it and replies to you himself; it is not passed to any consolidator, broker or firm, and you pay nothing to ask. The site carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links, and no group in a table has paid to be there. Every figure is read from the named group's or authority's own public page on the date shown. Nothing here is tax, legal, regulated or investment advice; check the source before you rely on a row.
