Business Support

At Pia FS we understand the importance at business generation is the lifeblood of any business and therefore support our advisers in the following areas:

Marketing support

As well as pre-approved compliant marketing materials, we are able to provide bespoke marketing solutions for your own business. We can also provide pre-qualified client appointments.

Business workshops

We regularly hold workshops and training sessions in association with our network and providers/lenders. These not only provide knowledge and practical experience, but also allow our advisers to network and share best practice.

Administration support

Our administration team can provide full case management support leaving you free to spend more time looking after your clients.

Rapid payment

We do not hold on to your commissions and understand the importance of prompt payment for the work that you have done. Once we have received any commissions due to you, you will receive the funds within 3 working days.

Getting Started

At Pia FS the support really does begin on day one:

Business stationery

To get you up and running we will arrange the prompt delivery of all the important business stationery to allow you to begin trading without delay.

Systems training

We will arrange the training you need to become familiar with the various point of sale and business submission systems.

Emails and individual web page

“When I was looking for a new practice to join, I approached Openwork asking for a firm that would be supportive when needed but ultimately allow me to operate as my own business, to which I was recommended to Nick & Rob at Pia Financial Solutions. Since joining in January 2016 that is exactly what I have had; a supportive environment which has helped my business continue to grow each year at a rate that has surpassed my expectations. I have had expert advice when I’ve sought it, and more recently the company’s administration department has allowed my business to grow significantly whilst still maintaining the high levels of service for my customers, and the internal compliance requirements. I would highly recommend joining Pia Financial Solutions for both new and experienced advisers.”

I’ve now been with PIA for 6 years and joined them after a torrid time with another AR who treated me as an employee rather than a self-employed professional and I can honestly say that in the whole time I’ve been with PIA I’ve had the freedom to build my business and get my work/life balance right, I’ve had assistance with building a really strong client bank and with support and guidance from PIA I’ve gained confidence as a professional adviser. Above all PIA are an honest outfit that have followed through on everything I was told in my first meeting with Nick Hayes and I can’t imagine working anywhere else.

What is Pia FS? Pia FS is what ever you want it to be. It is the support for the Sole Trader who wants to build his own business independently, it is the Corporate Company for those who want more structure and direction, but most of all it is a Family, that if you are lucky enough to become part of it as I am, you will not want to leave it. They are the most forward thinking and supportive company that I have ever been part of. They will not only help you grow your business by ensuring you provide the best advice for your clients, they will ensure this is done in a safe and sustainable way and they will help you take your business to where you want it to go. They will also help you become the best version of yourself, by supporting you and encouraging you to do things outside of your work life, as they strongly believe in that work life balance. I cannot thank and recommend Pia FS highly enough for the support and opportunity’s they continue to provide to me and as such I never wake up in the mornings with the dread of going to work.

We will support you in the ways that are best for your business – from getting started and training & development right through to business support and business generation. I believe though that this should be accompanied by the confidence that you can enjoy the freedom and benefits that self-employment offer without the fear of being micro-managed. Pia FS is an appointed representative of Openwork Ltd, the largest multi-tie network in the UK financial services industry and comprises over 3000 financial advisers. Being a part of Openwork gives us, and our advisers, access to some of the best support and product choices in the industry.
