Get financial advice

Not sure how to go about tackling your finances? It could be time to call in a professional. Here's your step by step guide to finding the right financial advice.

 1. Understand what's on offer

Financial advice comes in many different forms, but to help you work out what type of service you'll receive, advice can be put into two categories: independent and restricted.

Independent advice is based on an assessment of all of the market, without any restrictions or bias towards a particular product or company.

Restricted advice will only take into account a focussed range of products from selected companies, either because the adviser has chosen to specialise in a particular area, like pensions, or because they only work with selected product providers.
