What is Agency Franchise Division?Agency Franchise Division is an alternative financial services distribution business within Old Mutual. Our Franchise Service Provider Companies, which are managed by Franchise Principals and the agents working in those companies strive to satisfy the financial needs of clients by following a financial planning process and matching the needs with the appropriate Old Mutual products. Our Franchise Financial Advisers (Agents) operate under the Old Mutual Financial Services Provider License, and are mandated to sell Old Mutual products.
Why consider Agency Franchise?

Experienced intermediaries, at the height of their careers, can decide to brave it alone or continue working for a financial services provider.

As an experienced intermediary you may want to start your own business. Extensive industry and product knowledge and a good client base will give you a sound basis for this but you are equally aware of the difficulties and risks that start-ups face.

Franchising could be the solution.

Agency Franchise DivisionWhat is Franchising?

Franchising leverages the confidence consumers have in big, established brands to provide credibility to small businesses. The principal benefit is that a small company is seen to be backed by a major brand, providing customers with the confidence that the business is credible, its products sound and the service will meet certain standards.

The franchise operates under the Old Mutual Financial Services Provider Licence and is given a mandate to distribute Old Mutual’s products. Agency Franchise Division will help get the Franchise Service Provider business off the ground by working with the Franchise Principal to do a feasibility analysis and prepare a business plan. Using his or her own capital, the Principal then sets up an office that meets our specifications. Product training, operational training and support will continue to be provided.
