Top tips from Gavin Lewin
- Speak to a profession about what you need. You don't have to buy anything from them, they don't need to become your full-time financial advisor. You can find independent financial planners (such as Gavin) who can just advise you what you need. (Chat to Gavin)
- Ask lots and lots of questions! Don't simply sign the dotted line.
