We recognise the important role of advisers and service providers in supporting family businesses to prepare for the future, and addressing the challenges of today.  We know how important it is for families to work with advisers they can trust, and who understand the unique family business outlook.

As a trusted organisation, families often come to the IFB for advice on who they should talk to when they need advice on family business issues.  We have already helped numerous families and advisers build long term relationships, and this is a service which families are increasingly seeking from us.

We do this through our Preferred Partner Programme.

We thank our current partners for their support and contribution to the IFB and our members. 

If you have any questions, please contact us at info@ifb.org.uk.
