Why It Matters
Independent financial advisers providing pension planning, investment management, protection advice, inheritance tax planning, and retirement income services must be FCA authorised - your FCA firm reference number is a legal requirement on all financial promotions including your website, and clients increasingly check FCA authorisation before committing to a financial planning relationship. The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and FCA financial promotion rules govern every statement about financial products on your website - performance data must include appropriate risk warnings, past performance disclaimers, and representative examples where required. Within these constraints, a well-structured IFA website communicates your specialisms (retirement planning, business protection, estate planning for high net worth clients, ethical investing), your charging structure transparency under Consumer Duty, your qualifications (Chartered Financial Planner status, CII Diploma, Level 6 qualifications), and the type of client you typically serve. Consumer Duty obligations introduced in 2023 require IFAs to demonstrate fair value, good outcomes, and clear communication - a website that explains your service clearly and transparently meets the spirit of these requirements. A new client enquiry form capturing life stage, primary planning need, approximate investable assets, and preference for in-person or remote advice pre-qualifies every inbound enquiry effectively. Glitch Servers hosts your site on AMD Ryzen hardware with NVMe Gen4 storage, UK-native AS212868 routing, free SSL, and a 99.9% uptime SLA.
The Problem
These are the issues Independent Financial Advisers most commonly hit when their hosting isn't built for small UK businesses.
FCA authorisation display is a regulatory requirement on financial promotion pages - a website without your FCA reference number and appropriate risk warnings constitutes a financial promotion breach that FCA supervision teams actively investigate.
Consumer Duty requires IFAs to ensure clients understand the service they are receiving - a website that is vague about service scope, charging structure, and client suitability creates Consumer Duty compliance risk as well as losing clients to clearer competitors.
Unqualified enquiries from clients outside your target segment waste significant senior adviser time - a new client form with life stage, investable assets, and primary planning need fields pre-qualifies every enquiry before the first conversation.

Display your FCA firm reference number with a direct link to the FCA register, your regulatory status, and required financial promotion risk warnings on all relevant pages - meeting FCA financial promotion compliance requirements and Consumer Duty transparency obligations.
Individual pages for retirement planning, pension transfers, investment management, inheritance tax planning, and business protection each rank in specific high-intent searches and attract clients whose planning needs align with your advisory specialism.
A clear service and charges page explaining your initial advice fee, ongoing service charge, and charging basis (percentage, fixed fee, or hourly) meets Consumer Duty transparency requirements and attracts clients who research adviser charges before committing to a relationship.
A structured enquiry form capturing life stage, primary planning need, approximate investable assets, and preference for in-person or remote advice generates pre-qualified leads - filtering enquiries from clients whose situation aligns with your advisory specialism and minimum asset threshold.
