Hello! We’re glad you found us.

Equita Financial Network provides a turnkey platform + a powerful community of support

for women-led, independently operated, fee-only financial planning firms.

Equita is a Registered Investment Advisor, that allows Member firms to conduct business as a DBA, thereby avoiding the need for Member firms to register either with the State or SEC.

Equita provides a turnkey platform that includes all the necessary resources to run a comprehensive financial planning firm, as well investment management services.

Equita does not take an equity stake in any Member firm. Member firms maintain their own independent, autonomous brand. You own your client relationships – always.

The Equita platform is intentionally priced so that women business owners can keep more of what they make.

Equita provides a robust and structured network component to support collaboration across Members firms, sharing of best practices, and client solutions + advocacy, education, and succession planning options.

In-person and virtual gatherings support the exchange of information and ideas between like-minded professionals who share freely and support one another.

Having an abundance mentality is an essential element of success when you become a part of the Equita community.

Equita also provides the opportunity to uncover potential partners for emergency continuity planning and/or succession planning purposes.

How We Use Your Information That We Collect

Any and all nonpublic personal information that we receive with respect to our clients who are natural persons is not shared with nonaffiliated third parties which are not service providers to us without prior notice to, and consent of, such clients, unless otherwise required by law. In the normal course of business, we may disclose the kinds of nonpublic personal information listed above to nonaffiliated third-party service providers involved in servicing and administering products and services on our behalf. Our service providers include, but are not limited to, our administrator, our auditors and our legal advisor.

The same privacy policy also applies to former clients who are natural persons.
