The wholesale-only advice firm list
Firms whose AFS licence limits them to wholesale clients never appear on the Financial Advisers Register — no other adviser list covers them. ConcaveIQ maps this universe from the AFS licensee and CAR registers, classifies what each firm actually does, and verifies websites by matching ABN and AFSL numbers on the firms' own pages.

Common questions
What is a wholesale-only advice firm?
An AFS licensee (or its corporate authorised representative) whose licence conditions restrict it to wholesale clients — typically private wealth firms serving HNW investors, family-office advisers and specialist dealing desks.
Why aren't these firms on the FAR?
The Financial Advisers Register only covers advisers authorised for retail clients. Wholesale-only firms have no obligation to list their people there.
What detail does the platform hold?
Classification, state, verified website, description, office phone and shared inbox, key people, linked funds, and weekly new-entrant tracking.
