Who we are
Established at the beginning of 1997 I F Mackinnon & Company has from the outset sought to provide a range of tailored financial services to a client base centred on privately held and family businesses and their owners. Operating under three broad category headings, corporate finance advice and support to the businesses themselves, advice and support to individuals which is connected with or derived from their business activities and support to fiduciary structures associated with our business or individual clients, such as trusts and similar structures. We label these broad category headings, for ease of reference, as:
- Merchant banking
- Private banking
- Fiduciary
All client relationships, engagements and projects are led by a partner of the firm who is the primary point of contact. Our work always places the client’s requirements first, ahead of our own, recognising that a finance business can only prosper when their clients do so.
The firm is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
What we do
Merchant Banking
A business will face many hurdles and challenges as it grows and develops. Our role is to provide support to meet these challenges and assist in clearing the hurdles. While the list that follows is not exhaustive this support will cover areas such as:
- Sourcing capital to grow and advising on the terms and structure of the finance offered.
- Guiding the client through the process of buying another business to add to the existing operations
- Advising on and on the client’s behalf conducting the process of sale of a part or the whole of the business
- Acting as a sounding board and a point challenge for the developing plans of the business
Alongside those above we can also provide services such as foreign exchange, specialist accounts and payments services and valuations as required.
If you want to learn more about our services to business, please email merchantbanking@ifmackinnon.co.uk or go to our contact area.
Private Banking
Every business will have those that own and direct it in its development. In many cases, especially within our client base, this will be the same person or persons. Our service to individuals has grown out of our services to business and seeks to support them through and after their business journey. Our individual service offering also informs our business services ensuring that decisions for the business are not taken in isolation from the wider circumstances facing the owner or owners.
Our service is centred on providing a tailored virtual family office to clients giving them a single point of contact for matters as diverse as:
- Investment management
- FX and payment services
- Asset purchase, oversight and disposal
- Concierge services
- Taxation compliance and reporting
If you want to learn more about to services to individuals, please email privatebanking@ifmackinnon.co.uk or go to our contact area.

We offer a wide range of fiduciary services such as custody, security & trustee services and transaction processing. Our fiduciary services are available to individuals, trusts, family offices and corporate clients.
