You don’t have to be “rich” or “elderly” to benefit from financial advice, so put any worries or objections aside. Whether you are looking for one-off personal or business advice, or need a complete overhaul of your finances, Unividual will increase your financial literacy, improve your stability and organise your money, your way.

How can we make a difference in your world?

Throughout life, you will come across key milestones that affect your finances. Put simply, our role is to help you improve your financial situation, safeguard you against your biggest financial fears and help you overcome financial challenges. This will be what enables you to reach your full potential and achieve what you want from life. The challenge that hinders us from achieving this is, people don’t understand the role financial advice plays.

In 2022 the Financial Conduct Authority reported only 8% of UK adults received financial advice. The industry needs to do more to help people understand what we actually do as financial advisers. For years education has been at the core of what we do and we will continue to give away more knowledge for free. Everyone has access to Unividual’s free financial planning guides, money management articles and videos. Our clients are also passionate about our mission so they have shared their financial planning journey case studies so you can understand how affordable financial advice is and the role a financial adviser plays in improving wellbeing and financial security.

The types of people and businesses we love working with

Traditionally, financial services has had a rigid group of advice firms working with thousands of clients grouped together, receiving standardised, “off the shelf” financial planning. This is not “The Unividual Way” and we don’t live in a world that serves the traditional image of what a client looks like. Unividual has spent many years working hard to build up trust with different communities and demographics within the UK, focusing on inclusive marketing and fostering an approachable, understanding team who can support a diverse range of people. In 2022 51% of our clients were women and 49% men, clients are from different backgrounds and cultures, many are from the LGBTQIA community, all our families are unique and we continue to proudly work with many single professionals too. Some clients are just starting out and others are ready to finalise their retirement plans.  Whether someone needs a one off piece of advice or is keen to explore ongoing financial planning, all of us at Unividual will work hard to ensure you make sound financial decisions, alongside a financial adviser who cares and has the expertise to constantly shape your financial plan.

Is financial planning for me?

Not just financial advice for people, but companies too and entrepreneurs

Whether you class yourself an entrepreneur or not, if you run a business, this gives you an additional family to look after other than your own.  With the lack of financial education in schools Unividual believe that businesses can play a role in bolstering a person’s financial wellbeing. Whether you are looking for a financial wellbeing workshop, want to outsource the organisation of your benefits package or need to protect your business from risks then you can enrich yours and your employees lives through financial advice, the Unividual way. Here are some of the companies we are currently working with.
