FRP acquires Arc & Co.
Specialist business advisory firm FRP has acquired Arc & Co Structured Finance Limited (Arc & Co) as it continues to expand its national offering.
Headquartered in London, Arc & Co provides FCA-regulated financial advisory services to UK and international clients in the real estate sector. Since 2008, it has built a reputation as one of the most experienced real estate advisory teams in the UK and Europe, helping structure debt and equity solutions on residential development, commercial development and long-term income-producing assets of all sizes.
As part of the transaction, Arc & Co’s two directors and co-founders, Andrew Robinson and Edward Horn-Smith, will join FRP as partners, along with all 18 members of the Arc & Co team.
Following the acquisition, FRP intends to launch a sixth service pillar, FRP Real Estate Advisory. This will combine Arc & Co’s expertise with the FRP’s existing real estate experience to deliver a comprehensive and integrated offering to help boards, lenders and advisors in the sector create, preserve and realise value and, where necessary, manage risk.
This transaction marks FRP’s fifteenth acquisition since its IPO in March 2020, and closely follows its acquisition of One Advisory Group in May 2025. It further supports FRP’s strategy of generating sustainable profitable growth by broadening its service offering to clients, increasing market share and expanding its geographical footprint.
Geoff Rowley, CEO of FRP, said: “Arc & Co’s expertise broadens our existing Real Estate capabilities. In launching FRP Real Estate Advisory as a service pillar we bring these specialists together in order to better serve clients with their Real Estate requirements. We consider this acquisition will allow FRP to deepen relationships across the Real Estate sector, with increased opportunities for revenue generation across the Group.
“Andrew, Ed and the team have built a great reputation and we’re pleased to welcome them to FRP. They share our values and will make a strong contribution as we continue to grow.”
Arc & Co Senior Directors

We are all immensely proud of what we have achieved as a team at Arc & Co and being part of FRP will be a strong platform to enable us to offer a broader range of services to our clients and strengthen our reach across the UK through its nationwide office network.
“We are confident that by building upon our shared values of quality and professionalism with FRP we will accelerate our growth.”
