How we started
Great Opportunities for Everyone
Recognising that the UK mortgage market is highly fragmented and there are few investment, retirement or acquisitional growth solutions for owned managed businesses, Simon Embley became the architect of Pivotal Growth in tandem with powerhouse venture capitalist Pollen Street Capital and leading plc provider of residential property services, LSL.
The fundamental business plan is to buy, consolidate and build upon the success of leading mortgage brokerages throughout the UK in both mainstream vanilla markets and complex niche markets, to bring together a group eco-system poised for growth and ready to share ideas, tech and distribution.
The last few years have seen 25 firms join the successful group, now with a combined annual turnover in excess of £115,500,000. Our firms sit strategically within the channels of residential vanilla advice, new build broking, complex buy to let, second charge, bridging loans, development finance, life insurance and buildings insurance.
The benefits
Accelerating Expertise
This springboard for these financial brokerages allies companies from the four corners of the kingdom and allows each to focus on their areas of expertise whilst stretching their legs into other areas of business to be written and of course the ability to sound ideas and generate opinion from a variety of entrepreneurs at the head of each business.
Running a business is often a rewarding experience however, can be a lonely existence. Pivotal Growth are the fastest growing consolidator of tech, talent and business experience to help you reach the next phase of your growth.
Here are just a few reasons why the group structure has benefitted those already within the Pivotal stable:
- Enhanced expertise, resources and ideas sharing
- Access to a wider range of products in niche markets and cross sales
- Economies of scale through combined purchasing power
- Shared management and reduced operational burden
- Accelerated growth and value creation from the group's entrepreneurial mindset
- Shared financial risk across the entire group
- Stronger negotiation power for future contacts across the group
- Wider and more attractive exit opportunity
