An adviser spends about an hour with you by phone or video, and you get a written summary of your pensions, savings, investments, mortgage and cover.
The health check is about an hour on the phone or video, and you get a written summary of your pensions, savings, investments, mortgage and cover.
We list what you already hold, work out what each part is doing, and tell you what is missing.
