Founder's experience inside real businesses & advisory firms
Blight & Co. works with founder-led financial advisory firms where growth has outpaced operational control.
We’ve worked alongside independent FSPs embedded in major insurer and platform environments. We understand FAIS, TCF, compliance workflows, adviser dependency, and the realities of running a regulated advice business — from the inside.
Committed to provide accurate advice to help clients make decisions & maintaining a long lasting relations with a global strategy to solve challenges.
What Modern FSPs Are Not Doing in 2026
2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for independent advisory firms in South Africa.
Consolidation is accelerating.
Buyers are actively hunting recurring-revenue practices.
FSCA scrutiny, governance expectations, and TCF obligations are not easing.
From the inside, most firms feel “fine”.
From the outside — to buyers, partners, insurers, or regulators — they look exposed.
What feels normal internally is increasingly interpreted as risk externally.
