ABOUT US |
In the early 2000s Chris Preen, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and part-time freelance financial journalist, went through the dot.com bubble with his clients. He recognised early on that despite the sharp decline in tech stocks, the actual underlying physical demand for internet usage continued to accelerate, regardless of financial sentiment.
From then onwards he was on the lookout for an internet business opportunity. In 2004, in a much-needed move to increase transparency in the Financial Services Industry, the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act came into being. This required that financial advisors disclose certain minimum amounts of information about their representations, commissions etc. This created the perfect platform for an online directory of Financial Advisors where extensive information on each Advisor was show-cased rather than just a name-and-number type entry as was the format with so many other directories. Thus FindaProfessional was born.
The Financial Advisor website proved to be a highly successful model. Shortly after its launch the official Proudly South African website featured FindanAdvisor on its front page as an example of local innovation. It was soon recognised that it could be applied to other professions, and in 2007 FindanAccountant was launched.
This too proved so successful that in 2008 the third directory in the group was launched - FindanAttorney.
The Findaprofessional websites are run out of offices based in the beautiful seaside village of Kommetjie just outside of Cape Town (one of the many advantages of not having to be located close to your customer base). The actual websites are presently hosted on dedicated servers the US, administered by one of the the top 5 internet hosting providers in the world. The websites are monitored from different locations every 10 minutes, and any time there is a problem an SMS is sent directly to FindaProfessional staff (fortunately these instances are very rare).
Four years later and the world finds itself in another financial meltdown. Once again financial assets across the board are sharply lower. Once again internet usage continues to rocket. It is therefore with great confidence that FindaProfessional faces the future.
