Guidance – this type of service won’t recommend any products or tell you what to do with your money. It’ll only give you the information to help you make a decision.
If you want general guidance on the options available and the next steps you could take, you need to contact Pension Wise which is the government’s free and impartial service.
Advice – an in-depth analysis by a regulated and qualified adviser giving you a detailed recommendation of the best options to suit your personal and financial circumstances.
