How are we paid? We prefer to work as a fee based financial planning consultancy and most of our business is conducted in this way in order to ensure complete transparency and advice that is independent of product providers and fund managers. However in certain circumstances you may prefer us to work on a commission basis and we will always be happy to discuss this with you if it is appropriate. As it states in our terms of business you cannot be charged any fees without prior agreement, no charge will be made for the initial meeting. For more information, ring us on 023 9263 1749 or send us your details via email on alex@comptonrow.co.uk
