About NMBA

The New Model Business Academy is a ground breaking 'not for profit' company launched by SimplyBiz and dedicated to providing training and development to everyone in, or wanting to join, the Financial Services Profession. Whether you are a seasoned campaigner, a practice owner, an adviser in a large firm, an administrator or looking to join this fantastic profession, we are dedicated to helping you and your staff to achieve your ultimate goal.  There really is SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE in the New Model Business Academy.
 
We can help you in four key areas:
 
Professional Qualifications
Whether you are just starting out on your financial services career, or are already on your chosen journey of qualifications and training, NMBA can help you take the next steps.  By letting us know exactly which 'station' level you are currently at, and where you are ultimately heading, you will help us to give you relevant information on exams, training, revision material and much more.
 
Ever Changing Model
In any profession, to remain successful and maximise your potential, the business must constantly evolve.  At the Academy we provide workshops with leading providers who have already helped hundreds of advisers and business owners, like you, to successfully evolve their business, whether this is by changing to recurring income or fees, adopting further technology into your workplace, developing staff, marketing ideas or segmenting your clients.  Check out this area of the website to find out more information about the courses and workshops available.
 
Sharing of Ideas
The sharing ideas area encourages you to look at your business and identify what great successes you have had in particular areas and then share those successes with fellow professionals, who will in turn, help you to resolve some of the challanges you may be facing at your business.  Check out this area of the website to see example agendas and how to book on one of the forthcoming events.
 
Succession Planning 
For most people in business there comes a time to retire.  Whether you are planning to sell the business to a third party or to be succeeded from within, New Model Business Academy will provide detailed support on what you should consider.  This area of the website highlights the main aspects of a business which you should ideally focus on when considering the sale of your business.
