What MPI Financial does

MPI Financial Ltd is a UK-based independent financial advisory firm headquartered in Eastbourne, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 949588) and registered with the ICO (ZB200827). The firm delivers whole-of-market financial advice to individual consumers across three core service lines: pension advice (review, consolidation, and retirement planning), investment advice (ISAs, OEICs, unit trusts, general investment accounts, and bonds), and protection products (life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection, and business protection). Tax planning covering Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Inheritance Tax is also offered. Services are delivered by qualified Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) supported by a paraplanning team, customer consultants, and a compliance officer — with no software platform or digital self-service product in the offering.

The firm's customer base is exclusively UK individual consumers seeking personalised pension and investment guidance, with no enterprise or institutional clients identified. Acquisition relies on client referrals and listings on the Unbiased financial-advice comparison platform, supplemented by direct website contact. The business model is professional services / fee- and commission-based advisory, with a free initial no-obligation consultation and service-specific pricing not publicly disclosed. Leadership comprises Ricky Edwards (COO), Anthony Paul David Catt (Compliance Officer), and IFAs including Billy Hines, Sean Long, Kane Edwards, and Hugh Lachlan.

The firm operates from a registered office at 1 Brookmead Close, Eastbourne and a correspondence address at 150 Macquarie Quay, Eastbourne, serving the England market only. There is no disclosed external investment, parent company, or institutional capital; ownership appears to be founder/management-held. No acquisitions, funding rounds, or significant corporate structural events are recorded. The firm does not operate a software platform, does not publish an API, and has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.
