Enabling financial advisory businesses to remain in the hands of those who serve their clients

Get in touchWhy succession

We invest in financial advice businesses, helping them grow, aiding with the succession of owners and supporting next generation leaders into ownership.

Financial Advisory business owners have limited options when it comes to succession, often having to sell their business to banks, corporates or large dealer groups. This can have a serious impact on clients, staff and stakeholders of the business.

Broadleaf was inspired by the stories of financial advisory firms who had come to regret the way they exited their companies and who had felt limited by the options available to them upon their succession. Without an alternate path available, we set out to create one.

The Broadleaf model focusses on investing in financial advisory firms and partnering with them for the long term. We support them to build value and resilience and work with them to execute a customised succession plan with a symbiotic balance of clients, owners, employees and investors interests.
