Welcome to the Altura Network
Experienced backing. Practical support. A network built around advisers.
Altura is a mortgage network for advisers and Appointed Representative firms who want the right structure, support and commercial opportunities around them. We work with advisers who care about the quality of their advice, the solutions they can offer, the strength of their client relationships and the long-term development of their business. Through experienced leadership, practical compliance support, broad lender access and a genuinely collaborative network, Altura helps advisers operate confidently, compliantly and commercially.
Support That Helps Advisers Grow
Direct access to experienced people
At Altura, support does not sit behind layers of unnecessary process. You have direct access to experienced leadership and a management team that understands advice, business development, complex cases and the day-to-day realities of running a successful business.
That means better conversations, quicker answers and more relevant support from people who understand what matters commercially as well as operationally.
You will also be part of a genuine network of like-minded advisers who share ideas, discuss cases and support one another. From our WhatsApp community to lender sessions and in-person meetups, Altura gives you access to people who understand the work you do and the challenges you face.
Practical support for business growth
Altura is built for advisers who want to strengthen their proposition and build a more resilient business over time.
Our role is to provide the structure, guidance and opportunities that help you grow in the right way.
That includes practical support around business development, marketing, lead generation, introducer relationships and access to a broad range of lending solutions.
Whether you are looking to improve your existing setup, expand into more specialist areas, or build a more ambitious advisory business, Altura gives you the commercial support to move forward with confidence.
Compliance support without unnecessary friction
Support should make it easier to do business, not harder. Altura provides compliance and regulatory support that is robust, practical and proportionate. We are here to help advisers operate responsibly and confidently within a clear framework, without making the process feel overbearing or unnecessarily restrictive.
You will also benefit from support that goes beyond compliance alone. Our team can help with lender access, case direction, operational queries, business development thinking and the wider commercial side of building a successful business.
It is a pragmatic model designed to support growth while helping advisers work to the right standards.

Harley Trower, Novo Capital
Working under the Altura network has given us the ideal balance of support and independence. Altura are highly pragmatic in their approach, understanding the day-to-day realities of running a modern brokerage and providing practical solutions rather than unnecessary barriers.
One of the key reasons we enjoy working with Altura is their responsiveness. In a fast-paced industry, having a network that is quick to respond when guidance or support is needed makes a real difference.
At the same time, Altura gives us the autonomy to run Novo Capital in a way that reflects our own brand, values, and client proposition. They trust us to manage our business while providing the framework and oversight needed to operate confidently and compliantly.

Neha Maheshwari, Envista Finance LTD
Before joining Altura, I often felt like a small cog in a much larger machine. There was very little personal connection and the support available felt distant and very minimal.
Since moving to Altura, the difference has been remarkable. The culture truly feels like a family, where people celebrate each other’s successes and are always willing to offer guidance, encouragement, and go the extra mile to help each other succeed.
As a woman running a business, work-life balance and wellbeing are incredibly important to me. Altura understands that and have always made me feel respected, supported and motivated to grow my business in a manner that works for me both personally and professionally. Rob and Francois have been instrumental in my journey through their continuous understanding and belief both in me and my business, giving me the confidence to grow and develop.

Adam Thomas, Thomas Group Financial Services
Altura is a network that removes red tape, treats you like an adult and enables you to offer advice in every area of mortgage finance.
On any given day, I could be working on debt consolidation, first-time buyer and expat mortgages, along with bridging finance and commercial deals.
The WhatsApp community they’ve created is special and a great place to source intel and bounce ideas off other brokers in the network.
I have no plans to become a directly authorised broker as they offer me the same level of flexibility and independence without the extra admin and cost.”

Richard Rinder, Novo Capital
Working with Altura under their Appointed Representative system has been an excellent experience. They provide a strong yet flexible framework that allows us to build and grow our business with confidence.
The system gives us the freedom to operate independently while still benefiting from structured support, compliance guidance, and a professional network that encourages long-term success.
What stands out most about Alutra is their honesty, fairness, and commitment to their partners. Communication is always clear, expectations are realistic, and they genuinely prioritise helping businesses within their network succeed. This level of transparency builds trust and makes working with them straightforward and reliable.

Joining Altura after many years within a large national network was one of the best decisions we've made. The freedom to support a wider range of clients has enabled us to deliver better outcomes, and we genuinely feel that our voice matters.
Any suggestions we make to enhance Altura's offering or streamline processes are genuinely considered and, where appropriate, implemented to drive meaningful improvements.
Altura truly feels like a family. Everyone is generous with their time, willing to help, and committed to each other's success. Rob and Francois are particularly supportive, always looking for ways to help the business grow, improve, and achieve its full potential.
