A new agency says homeworking advisors should have “the freedom to decide their own partners” after condemning “dreadful” contracts of certain providers.
Having launched in February, Independents – Powered by Azure is keen to highlight itself as an “ethical trading platform” which allows advisors to work with any supplier.
Its model is simple; advisors apply for membership and if accepted, they are given access to more than 180 suppliers, a suite of business development tools and marketing materials in the company’s SharePoint portal.
