Faro is the Portuguese word for lighthouse. We chose the name deliberately — because that's exactly what independent financial advice should feel like. Not pressure selling. Not complexity. A clear light that shows you what's ahead and helps you navigate with confidence.
Our mission
We built Faro Financial because we believed the financial services industry had a fundamental problem — most advice comes with hidden incentives. Advisers tied to certain lenders. Insurers who get better commission. Products pushed before the customer's needs are understood.
We wanted to do it differently. An adviser group that is genuinely independent across mortgages, protection, pensions, wills and investments — and that builds relationships, not transactions.
We're based across Manchester, Leicester and London, and we serve clients across the UK. Everything we do is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Five specialist brands. One independent adviser group. Working together so you always have the right person for the right need.

What we stand for
We're not tied to any lender, insurer or provider. We earn a disclosed fee from our clients — which means our only incentive is finding you the right deal.
Faro Financial is authorised and regulated by the FCA. That means our advice meets the highest professional standards and you're protected every step of the way.
We start every conversation by understanding your situation — not by presenting a product. Real advice from people who listen.
We want to be your financial guide for life — not just for a single transaction. As your circumstances change, we're here to adapt your plan with you.
Where we are
We have advisers in three major UK cities, with access to lenders and providers across the whole of the UK.
