Our History Into Your FutureEthical Financial has grown from it's origins in 1990 as financial advisers and mortgage brokers into a specialist alternative pensions and investments business. By the end of 2007 just as the recession was beginning to come about we realised that we needed to diversify into new markets as our traditional markets began to suffer a downturn. After over 12 months of research and testing we finally hit upon alternative investments such as Green Oil (Bio Diesel) and Timber (Teak) these investments have always performed well but until recently have not been available to the general public. However it is now possible to invest into these areas through a SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) or by transfering a frozen pension from a past employment into a SIPP. Clients can now take all the tax advantages of a SIPP linked to the high yields of up to 25% annual growth of the investment. Since we realised the potential of green energy linked to investment we have grown from strength to strength.
In 2010 we decided to expand our business through franchising, the resulting franchising opportunity allows you to copy our successful operation with all the usual benefits of support that franchising can offer to help minimise the risks usually associated with new business start-ups.
Training and SupportFull training and on-going support is included within our franchise. Initial training will be held at head office with further training taking place at the franchisees location. Support is also on-going and is available for as long as our franchisee requires it. As new products are included into our portfolio then full training on that product will always be available.

Are you for us?The Ethical Financial Franchise is suitable for people from a financial services or sales background but not exclusively so, as we provide full training and support. All our products are non-regulated allowing our franchisees the opportunity of being able to offer our investments without having to hold a Certificate in Financial Planning (CFP) qualification or equivalent. This said all our products have undergone the full due dilligence process that regulated investments must undergo.
Territories/LocationsAs long as the territory in which you are interested remains available, you may apply to take up the Ethical Financial franchise for anywhere in the UK that you are normally resident. Territories are carefully designed so that each franchise area is roughly equal in opportunity and split into equal post code areas. Details of exact statistical make up, boundaries and locations of territories will be available to you in discussion of your application with Ethical Financial.
Plan For The FutureWe will sit with you and prepare a business plan which you feel is realistic and achievable within you personal capabilities and experience. However, like any business, the degree of profit you will take from your franchise depends entirely on the amount of effort and time you put into it.
That said, the Ethical Financial operation is very low-cost as:
It requires no special premises or equipment
It requires little capital
It requires little or no full-time staff
It is very ethical and well received by your clients
