Thinking of starting your own advice firm and need an expert look at the what, why and how of getting started? Join a Verve Foundation bootcamp for free.

the 1-day ready? bootcamp.

Designed as 1-day session, we think of this as a 'bootcamp'.

It’s a safe space for people who are thinking of setting up their own business, but aren’t entirely sure what’s involved and are not ready to take the leap!

You’ll get all the information and support you need to make the tough decisions before you go for it.

The bootcamp lasts just 1 day, and comprises a mix of community, workshop and group sessions.

Community: Learning sessions focused on building community. Expect lots of discussion with fellow candidates, sponsors and guests.

Workshop: Collaborative, subject-focused training, plus solo tasks for completion (both pre and post the session).

Group session: An opportunity for the group to come together to discuss solo tasks, share experience and give and receive feedback.

To be successful on the ready? bootcamp, we ask that you:

  • Attend all your scheduled sessions (including pre and post webinars).

  • Commit to your one to one session with openness and honesty.

  • Integrate yourself in the community by seeking help and supporting others.

  • Ask questions. Lots and lots of questions!

the bootcamp was really useful and informative. it was also great to meet some other like-minded advisers and planners in the same boat. it has given me lots to ponder and has certainly helped to give me a clearer picture of the options going forward.
