Hello! We’re glad you found us.

Equita Financial Network provides a powerful community of support + a turnkey platform 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 as 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 community to support collaboration across Members, 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.

Member firms are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professionals or will commit to earning the designation.

Privacy Notice

We recognize the importance of protecting our clients’ privacy. We have policies to maintain the confidentiality and security of your nonpublic personal information. The following is designed to help you understand what information we collect from you and how we use that information to serve your account.

Categories of Information We May Collect

In the normal course of business, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Information you provide in the subscription documents and other forms (including name, address, social security number, date of birth, income and other financial-related information); and

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. Additionally, we may disclose such nonpublic personal information as required by law (such as to respond to a subpoena) or to satisfy a request from a regulator and/or to prevent fraud. Without limiting the foregoing, we may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to governmental entities and others in connection with meeting our obligations to prevent money laundering including, without limitation, the disclosure that may be required by the Uniting and Strengthening America Act by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, if we choose to dispose of our clients’ nonpublic personal information that we are not legally bound to maintain, we will do so in a manner that reasonably protects such information from unauthorized access. The same privacy policy also applies to former clients who are natural persons.

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about our clients to those employees and agents who need to know that information to provide products and services to our clients. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect our clients’ nonpublic personal information.
