What impact will the FCA’s consolidation and ongoing advice reviews have on buyers and sellers of advice firms in 2025? In this FREE 60-minute webinar, we ask acquirers, sellers and sector industry experts how both reviews, initiated by the regulator, will challenge and change the M&A landscape.
Key questions answered in this webinar include how the FCA’s reviews could:
- Block or modify proposed mergers.
- Lead to more comprehensive due diligence processes.
- Impact on the timeline and process of M&A deals in 2025
- Influence the valuation of target firms.
- Impose new regulatory requirements post-consolidation.
- Force consolidators to invest far more in compliance systems, technologies and processes
