Fees and Charges

Our fees are clear and transparent - we explain everything up front, so you always know what you are paying and what you are receiving in return.


All fees are discussed and agreed before any work begins.

How Our Fees Work

The cost of advice depends on the work being carried out. Some areas are more complex and require more research and administration than others, so fees will vary. They are broken down into:


  • Initial advice fees – covering the research, recommendations, and implementation of your financial plan.
  • Ongoing service fees – if you choose regular reviews and ongoing support.
  • Hourly rate charging – where advice is needed on a specific matter without ongoing service.


Not all fees apply to all circumstances. If you would like clarity on the fees that would apply for your circumstances, please get in touch and we can provide an estimate for the work you require. 


All fees are discussed and agreed in writing before any work begins.

Transparency and Value

We will always:


  • Explain our fees before you agree to any work.
  • Show how our recommendations represent value compared to existing arrangements.
  • Provide written confirmation of all costs.


There are no hidden charges. You only pay for the services you agree to.

Initial Advice Fees

The initial advice fees set out below cover:


  • Our fact-finding meetings.
  • Research and analysis of your current arrangements.
  • Comparison of providers, products, and costs.
  • A written recommendation report.
  • Setting up and implementing your chosen plan.

Initial Meeting

Free and without obligation.

Financial Review and Recommendation

Our charge for this service is a fixed fee of £500 payable on provision of the report containing our recommendations to you. 


This fee will be waived wholly or in part should you decide to implement any of our recommendations.

Implementing Recommendations: Lump Sum Investments or Transfers

Our charge for this service is based on a percentage of the amount you invest and/or transfer. These charges are applied as follows: 


  • For the first £50,000 – 3% 
  • For the next £50,001 to £100,000 – 2% 
  • For any amount above £100,000 – 1% 


This payment can either be taken from your investment upon receipt by the policy provider or paid directly by you. 

Implementing Recommendations: Regular Savings or Investments

Our charge for implementing a regular contribution savings or investment plan is our review and recommendation fee of £500, this is payable on commencement of the policy.


This payment can either be taken from your investment upon receipt by the policy provider or paid directly by you.

Implementing Recommendations: Arranging Annuities

We charge a percentage fee of 1% of the annuity purchase amount to arrange an annuity, capped at £2,000. This fee  involves all financial advice and administration involved with the arrangement of the annuity from the beginning of  the agreement until the plan(s) are transferred and the annuity is in force. 


This payment can either be taken from your investment upon receipt by the policy provider or paid directly by you.

Implementing Recommendations: Arranging Insurance Policies

If you buy a protection product you may elect that we are remunerated by commission. 


The commission is paid directly by the provider. Although you pay nothing up front that does not mean our service is free - the insurance provider factors the commission paid into their own charges, which in turn are factored into the regular premiums you will pay for the insurance.

Ongoing Service Fees

We offer an ongoing review service to ensure your financial plans remain up to date and appropriate for your circumstances. This service is charged at 0.5% per year (subject to a minimum of £300 per annum).


Our ongoing service includes:


  • A structured review at least once every 12 months.
  • An assessment of your circumstances and whether changes to your plans are needed.
  • Updates and information on your existing holdings.
  • Ongoing support with correspondence and administration.
  • Different levels of support, depending on your needs.


We will discuss our ongoing services during your initial consultation so you can decide if this is right for you.


This fee can be paid either from your investments or directly by you. You can cancel at any time.


Hourly Rate Charges

You can choose to pay an hourly fee. You will pay us for our advice and services (whether you buy a product or not) at  an amount or a rate agreed before we commence any work. Our hourly rates are:


  • Financial advice – £300
  • Administration – £75


Where charging a fixed fee we will provide you with a fee agreement showing the  actual fee that will be payable for the agreed service being provided.  Where charging an hourly rate we will provide  a letter of engagement to indicate how much we might charge in total.

Investment Risk Warnings

All investments carry an element of risk, and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested.

A pension is a long term investment. The fund value may fluctuate and can go down. Your eventual income may depend on the size of fund when accessed, interest rates and legislation.

A Protection plan will have no cash in value at any time, and will cease at the end of the term. If premiums are not maintained, then cover will lapse and you may not be covered if a claim is made
