When you reach one of life’s big turning points – be it landing your dream home, having children, or ensuring a comfortable retirement – you deserve the very best financial advice.
Launched in 2012, VouchedFor is on a mission to get everyone that great advice. We are the UK’s largest rating and review site for financial and legal advisers and our platform already brings together thousands of financial and legal advisers, hundreds of thousands of satisfied clients, and millions of people needing advice.
We are an innovative start-up backed by VCs and Angel Investors whose previous successes include Shazam, Zoopla, eBay, Lovefilm and Betfair.
We harness the power of our 80k+ reviews and other data to help consumers find or check their adviser, and we also use this as a rich source of data to understand consumer needs. One such insight led to us launching our sister FinTech company, Hatch, in 2017.
Hatch uses unique technology to make financial planning simple and accessible to everyone. Our experience with VouchedFor as the UK’s best place to find a financial adviser, helped us rapidly build Hatch into one of the UK’s most exciting Fintech prospects.
