The SimplyBiz Group provides essential support services, software and data that enable professional financial advisers, financial intermediaries and product providers to deliver better outcomes for their customers. We support 3,700 intermediary firms with regulatory and business support in addition to the 1,900 customer firms - and 8,500 individual advisers - using our fintech platform whilst providing essential product distribution support to over 400 financial institutions. Our in-depth understanding of the changing regulatory landscape, and deep insights into the needs of customers, advisers and product providers, enable us to add unique value to the retail financial services sector. The Group was formed in 2002 and, through organic growth and acquisition, rapidly grew to become the UK's largest provider of outsourced regulatory and business support to financial advisers; a position we still hold today. During that time, we created and launched innovative solutions for the lending and credit markets, launched our own asset management company and entered the legal and surveying markets and are prominent each of those markets today. In 2019, we made our largest acquisition to date as we added Defaqto to our Group of companies. Defaqto has been a leading research and FinTech provider for over 20 years and its brand is well known and respected amongst advisers, providers and consumers alike. Although our heritage can be traced back to Yorkshire, we now operate from eight locations across the UK, employing over 520 dedicated professionals, supporting over 10,000 financial professionals and working with over 250 leading providers of financial products.
