Sponsors

For 21 years, the IFP has been working hard to build and maintain the profession of Financial Planning in the UK. Fundamental to our success has been the tremendous support that we receive from a range of sponsoring organisations which are keen to help us support practitioners who wish to improve their standards of professionalism, skill and technical knowledge.

Whilst the IFP is partly funded by membership fees, sponsorship is an extremely effective way of providing additional support, enabling us to increase the scope of the services and events we can provide for members, and helping to establish Financial Planning as the new profession it deserves to be.

As we look ahead to the future, the IFP is working with sponsors to develop new initiatives and ways to improve and grow the services we provide already, to make sure that we continue to build the momentum for growth in Financial Planning. 

Why sponsor the IFP?

  • An association with excellence and creativity.
