Understanding Our Fees

During the initial free, no-obligation meeting, we will assess your requirements.

At your free initial meeting, our advisers will take the time to understand your objectives.

You will be given clear information about the type of advice and level of service provided by the adviser and how much it will cost.

We will provide you with information about the range of products we are authorised to advise on, along with any other details we are required to share with you.

The details outline the type of products the firm offers advice on, for example, savings and investments, pensions and protection.

We will also let you know if there are any other costs that might arise in connection with the services we provide to you.

Our actual charges and fees will be agreed with you before we do any work and we will explain your payment options too.
