About Succession

• Backed by Aviva: Our strong financial position, extensive resources and significant experience will give you peace of mind if you decide to sell or merge your business with us.

• Independent advice: Your clients will continue to benefit from independent advice, meaning that there is no ‘forced migration’ into solutions that are not for your clients’ benefit
