Independent financial advisors

An independent financial advisor (IFA) is someone who helps you manage your money and make financial decisions. They don't work for any specific bank or company, so they can recommend the best options for you from a variety of sources.

If you're going to pay for care and support yourself, you may want to get some financial advice to help you make the right decision about how you pay for what you need both now and in the future.

There are lots of different ways that you can find extra sources of money to pay for your care and support and a good financial advisor will work closely with you to see what the best option is for you.

To learn more about what independent financial advisors can do, how they can help you, and what they might charge, visit the Money Helper website.
