Frequently asked questions

To provide advice that is in your best interests, our advisers need to understand your goals and objectives, financial situation and the insurances you currently have. We will complete a needs analysis and an analysis of your current financial situation before your first meeting, which will take about an hour. If you wish to proceed with the advice, it should take approximately six weeks to finalise.

Our advice fees include a written Statement of Advice, with strategies and product recommendations tailored to meet your goals. We will provide you with a quote for our services before we undertake any work on your behalf.

Our life insurance advice service is tailored for doctors but is available to everyone.
