Network Best Practice is to roll out a direct to consumer (D2C) proposition to its advisers allowing them to offer clients access to some self-service options.

Adviser network Financial Ltd is looking for investment to secure the future of the business after pre-tax losses more than doubled in the year ending March 2014, latest results have shown.

Adviser network Financial Ltd has received numerous applications from firms to join since a recruitment ban was lifted late last year, director Brian Galvin has said.

Personal Touch has appointed Jane Cross, formerly finance and IT director, as the network's chief executive officer.

Are advisers being forced to go above and beyond FCA requirements?

Network Sesame has again come out top as the most complained about advice firm, although numbers of cases against it were down, according to the Financial Ombudsman Service's (FOS) half yearly figures published today.

A listed national IFA has joined the Caerus network after deciding the "time was not right" to become directly authorised (DA).

Network the On-Line Partnership is liable for allegedly unsuitable advice it claims one of its appointed representatives (AR) gave without its authorisation, the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) has ruled.

A growing number of IFAs are approaching network Best Practice saying they are being asked by other networks to adopt particular solutions when dealing with complex problems, technology director Keith Hare has said.

Who is ultimately responsible for the business written by advisers affiliated with nationals or networks?
