How many financial advisers should I speak to?
Speaking to more than one adviser can make price, service and specialist fit much easier to judge.
There is no compulsory number
You can appoint the first adviser you speak to if you are satisfied with the service and price, but comparing several can give useful context. MoneyHelper encourages consumers to contact more than one adviser and compare costs and service.
Compare the things that actually differ
When can you stop comparing?
Once you understand the alternatives and one adviser clearly fits your needs, continuing to collect quotes can add little. The goal is an informed choice, not the largest possible spreadsheet.
Advisedly's approach
Advisedly is designed to let people browse and compare without giving contact details first. If someone prefers Advisedly to handle the match, the high-intent route is designed to introduce them to one participating adviser rather than distribute their details to several firms.
