Business Transformation
One to one individual development designed to match and enhance your client experience and outcomes.
Expert Insight
We hear constantly that compliance is so burdensome that charging an appropriate fee is really challenging. Dealerships fees are going up, compliance costs are going up and the press never helps. We hear that the industry is fractured with too many voices and businesses focused on their outcomes and not the advisers. Therefore, we are not aligned with any institution, dealership and have absolutely no conflict of interest. We have observed that too much industry time and money is wasted on noise and not enough invested in you.
How can we help?
Our focus is the individual adviser and his performance in front of the client, whether you are a standalone or part of a larger practice that doesn’t have the time or the skills too coach you individually. We don’t lecture you or run group webinars to make us easy money by simply passing on trendy ideas. We sit next to you and we individually coach you to have deeper and more meaningful conversations with your clients. We constantly pull apart and challenge the way you engage with with real clients and we help you modify that for better outcomes. We coach you to better articulate your worth and your value to the client in a way that fits with you and your style. The end result is you will find fulfilling your B.I.D. obligations easier and clients will pay you more.

Business sale
I had heard Steve talk at a seminar about the sale of FP practices. I had kept the information on Steve in a file and made contact with him when I was ready to sell. I found Steve to be very professional, ethical and diligent. After providing him with the detailed information he requested, he then proceeded with the sale process. I was expecting this to take 18 month to 2 years. Within a few weeks Steve had a number of ASX listed companies and advisers whom were interested in purchasing my asset. The Sale documents were signed on 6 months later

Forte’s focus at all time is on the client outcomes or in my case the advisers we looked after. The decision making is a large part on culture and then on the commercial aspects of the transaction. It is not easy to sell your business but it gives great comfort to work with professionals who have networks, processes and understand the marketplace intimately.

Ultimately it was a very positive experience working with the team at Forte. Steve was committed from day 1 to finding the right fit for my business & clients. A sale of any business has its challenges but Steve's processes, experience & communication ensured a smooth journey and positive outcome for all parties. If I were to do it all over again, I would certainly engage Forte Asset Solutions.... because if you are going to do something, do it right.

Business sale
Having never sold a business before, we were understandably nervous but we received invaluable guidance, support and advice through a lengthy but ultimately worthwhile process. Forte's experienced, steady views on things were fantastic. We have now successfully merged our business with a firm that is an ideal place for our clients and our staff - mission accomplished!
