Testimonials

"I left Sesame December 31st 2010 and took up Direct Registration with FSA. My Compliance is now handled by SimplyBiz.

"Firstly, you need to understand that Sesame may not tell you the truth with regard to 'the world outside Sesame' - I would suggest to you that you should believe nothing. If you leave they lose a stream of revenue. They may tell you that the FSA will be making it harder for small businesses operating outside the sphere of the network. Do not believe them.

"What are the advantages of direct authorisation? I'm no longer being treated as lowest common denominator. I have scope to use wider range of research tools. I've seen a twofold plus increase in my written business (it is growing annually.) I receive top class support services, positive meetings for members and have a more positive attitude to business.

"My advice to advisers at the time (the ones I came into contact with anyway) was to exit Sesame at the earliest opportunity and this advice remains still."

Our Vision

SimplyBiz was launched back in 2002 with the belief that advice firms were most successful when operating with complete freedom. Since that time and with each change in regulatory framework, it is increasingly true that direct authorisation is the only way that firms can achieve this autonomy.

SimplyBiz has grown to become the largest regulatory and business support provider for directly authorised firms. Since our inception, our focus has remained consistent; to provide everything advisers need to operate compliant, efficient and profitable businesses.

As Chairman of the SimplyBiz Group, I’m lucky enough to meet thousands of advisers across the UK each year and I never fail to be impressed by the innovation and resilience shown within our sector. Advisers deliver quality financial planning for the benefit of millions of individuals and families across the UK, and I’m proud to fight the advisers’ corner on key issues to ensure this continues to be the case.
