"Money can’t buy happiness, but it may buy you freedom. Financial independence means that you can work because you want to and there is nothing better than being in control of your day."
— Suhan Srinivasan
We combine the values of a traditional family business with the expertise of a modern Chartered Adviser.
Our Story
ARM Associates began over 50 years ago as a small, family-run business. While we have since evolved into a Limited Company to better serve our growing client base, we have deliberately kept our original trading name and our core heritage.
We are proud to remain a small business. This isn't about size; it's about focus. It means we treat every client as an individual, not a number. We have structured our entire company with you—the client—at the heart of it.
In a world of automated menus and chatbots, we stand apart. When you ring ARM Associates, you won't navigate a complex menu system or wait in a queue for a remote call centre. You go straight through to a real person.
We believe in high levels of personal service, no fuss, and straight talk. Our goal is to help you progress in your financial life without the jargon.
We are Independent Financial Advisers (IFA). This is crucial. It means we work only for you, not for an insurance company or a bank. We have no restricted menus of products; we search the whole market to find the best solution for your specific needs.
From arranging simple home insurance to building complex, multi-decade financial plans, our advice scales to your requirements. We also collaborate directly with your solicitor and accountant to ensure your financial strategy is joined-up and nothing is missed.
Our ultimate aim is to provide you with "Financial Freedom." It is not easy to achieve, but with discipline and the right roadmap, it is possible. We are here to guide you every step of the way.
