Quilter Cheviot is the UK’s second-biggest independent wealth manager and it has received a 600million takeover offer by Old Mutual, the FTSE-100 financial services group. It is said that there could be one more superior bid, while other prospective buyers such as Investec may now withdraw interest in the company. Quilter Cheviot dates back to 1771, making it one of the UK’s oldest financial services firms and Bridgepoint, the private equity firm which controls the company is said to be holding out for a £700m bid. Both companies have declined to comment and only time will tell how negotiations pan out, but it looks very likely that this ongoing saga will be drawn to a close very soon.

Why Every Business Needs a Financial Adviser
A financial advisor is an individual who helps a company best utilise their money, and they research into particular market places to help the business buy the most cost effective products and services. Some advisers have their own specialist areas, such as pensions, mortgages, sales, or investments and all businesses should be able to call upon a trusted financial adviser.

Tool Cover for Construction Companies
Tools are everything in the construction industry and you have to make sure they’re protected to avoid business interruption. If a company is waiting on a tool for several weeks, then a construction project could be halted, putting traders out of a job, potentially not meeting the deadline. This is why every single tool, whether it’s a forklift truck or a compressor, should be covered, and ideally the insurance policy should include fast rental equipment. Any problems must be overcome quickly in construction and no development business can afford to waste time waiting for the necessary equipment. A 2 day delay could snowball into a bigger delay and if a business is unable to meet the set timescale, then they…
Disaster Recovery Solutions
With insurance, it is very important that you keep in mind that they’re a business, and that they’re ultimately interested in making money, and paying you back for your damaged and lost property doesn’t fit in well with that goal. It used to be the case that getting them to pay out the money they’re obligated to was very difficult, but they have since had to start using middlemen, or objective bystanders, to base their judgement off of. These people and companies are typically part of the disaster recovery industry, based within the building and construction industries, and are providers of insurance reinstatements. If you’ve found your home damaged due to a storm, flood, or other unforeseen difficulties, then disaster…
Business Insurance
Securing your assets is necessary for everyone and every organisation, businesses included. Ultimately, this comes down to finding a good insurance policy which will cover you for any eventuality. For business insurance, what you want to secure is typically any equipment you have, and potentially any investments you make. Now, insuring your equipment can be done relatively easily, and functions in much the same way as any personal insurance you have, whereby you pay a monthly fee so that should anything happen to your property, you can recoup, at the very least, some of its value. For insuring your investments, the process can differ quite a bit; although it is largely dependant upon the relationship you have with your bank.…
