Services

We are committed to providing international financial advisers and UK IFA's with premier support in all areas of their business. We realise that every firm is unique and have therefore developed a flexible model, which can be tailored to your firm’s individual requirements.

Our highly personalised approach, experience in assisting clients and our clear understanding of the specific needs of international business and expatriate clients, drawn from our own international origins, make us the ideal organisation with which to progress.

New ideas, technology and a low cost environment attracts partners, and partners generate volume which in turn reduces the costs of business, providing a mutual benefit to the client and the service or product provider.

We offer a range of essential services and the option to purchase additional services only when you need them. We don’t believe you should have to pay for services you may not need just to access those that you do; nor do we tie you in to any long term contract, as the quality of our service should be enough to guarantee your ongoing loyalty.

About Us

Intamediary is the trading style of Adviser Platform Lda with authorisation in England, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Hungary, Czech Republic, Solvenia, Malta and Gibraltar. We are in the process of establishing partnerships throughout the EU. This highlights our determination to provide a highly personal service delivered wherever your clients settle.

Our authorised representives specialise in meeting the financial planning needs of people or companies who have created more capital, or who earn higher incomes, than average, and whose circumstances are therefore more complicated than the average.

The network enables the buying power of many small and new brokers to be aggregated and economies of scale achieved. We developed a centralised IT solution that provides a range of products and services on its platform to enhance the efficiency and profitability of itself and of the connected brokers.

Most clients want a trusted wealth manager to understand and explain the relevant issues, and propose appropriate action. The strength of our relationship and level of satisfaction among clients and partners may be judged by the fact that most new clients come to us as a result of word of mouth recommendations from existing clients, lawyers, accountants, investment houses and financial institutions.

As we move forward we will continue to work hard to introduce more technology as well as new and intelligent ways to provide greater opportunities for all your clients and partners.

Why Portugal ?

New ideas, technology and a low cost environment attracts partners, and partners generate volume which in turn reduces the costs of business, providing a mutual benefit to the client and the service or product provider. There are also tremendous tax benefits for companies established in Portugal and for individuals wishing to retire and take up residency.

This is optional but if they choose not to take up this opportunity, any redress over and above the normal excess level with not be covered under the policy and will fall on the member to pay.
