Indicative Costs for Your Financial Plan

The table below shows indicative costs of our initial advice charges. You’ll be provided with an individual quotation following an initial consultation.

We believe most people can benefit from taking financial advice, however in our pursuit of fair value we believe that you should typically have investments totalling £100,000 or above to maximise the value of our services.

However complex pensions like SIPP and SSAS we would charge £2,400 as a minimum to review these plans and make recommendations.
