In this Adviser Hangout podcast, Jason Butler of Bloomsbury tells host Abraham Okusanya a highly inspirational story of how he went from nearly bankrupt to building one of London’s top boutique wealth firms.

Jason started the business 16 years ago and nearly went bankrupt, having spent £250K of his own money and about the same amount of the bank’s money. Thankfully, he and his team found a way to turn things around and the business, is now completely owned by the senior management, with strong financial controls in place.

The business now looks after 70 clients with £140M FUM and £1.3M revenue, with plans to reach £2M in the next few years. But for Jason, it’s not just about the money, it’s about building a firm that outlive him and the firm’s clients.

How did he do it? Listen and enjoy!
