Do you take a percentage or are your fees fixed?
Our initial fees are a fixed charge, so you will know upfront what your costs will be. These are based on the type of work, not the value of the assets being discussed. If you decide to take an ongoing service with us, the charge will be a percentage of the assets we agree to manage.

Commission can be paid to us from mortgage and protection providers. This is explained fully in our Terms of Business, and any amount will be fully disclosed before you proceed with any product purchase.
Do you charge VAT?
