IFA - NON CIRCUMVENT AGREEMENT (NCA) 2010:
 


Introduction:

Before we can discuss technical details of any client planning, it is important that we are able to protect our intellectual property, and that the IFA knows what is expected of him/her within the overall relationship.

The following are the main points to consider:

  • When contacted by an IFA we will focus on the specific aspects of a client scenario - rather than enter into specifics of the planning tools and how they work.
  • We will require ALL IFAs to have completed this NCA prior to us discussing any technical aspects of the planning opportunities that are available.
  • When we are satisfied that the client scenario fits one or more of our planning options, we will ask the IFA to confirm the client's name. This is to protect both ourselves and the IFA - as clients sometimes contact us direct, or through their accountants.
  • This NCA ensures that we cannot approach the client without permission from the IFA and that all client information is kept confidential. We do not require client contact details other than their (or their company's) name.
  • IFAs who have completed this NCA and have notified us of client names will be eligible to receive our most updated "Planning Overview Notes". These will be updated as required and sent to our registered IFAs.

This process has been put in place to make sure we are not taking up valuable time "training" IFAs on a wide range of tax related subjects - without there being a realistic chance of a business relationship progressing.

Should an IFA wish to review what constitutes a "client" - they can read our "About Us" page where a list is provided.

Should an IFA require technical support and Training, then they should contact us and ask for more information about our Training costs.

This Agreement shall commence on the date on which the form details are submitted via the web site.
