An Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) provides unbiased financial advice and can recommend products from across the entire market, ensuring you get the best options for your needs. In contrast, restricted advisers can only offer advice on a limited selection of products or providers, which may not always be in your best interest.

By choosing an IFA through IFA Connect, you can be confident that your adviser is working solely for you, without being tied to any financial institution or product provider. This means their advice is truly independent, transparent, and tailored to your specific financial goals.

90% of the time, yes. However, if your specific needs would be better met by an adviser slightly further afield, we will prioritise finding the best match for you. Our focus is on ensuring you receive the highest quality advice, rather than restricting your options based purely on location. Thankfully, all advisers within the IFA Connect network offer remote consultations via phone or video call, giving you even greater flexibility.

No, there is no obligation to proceed after being matched with an adviser. You can have an initial conversation, ask questions, and decide if their services are right for you before making any commitments. Our goal is to connect you with the right adviser—whether you choose to move forward is entirely up to you.

If you’re making important financial decisions—such as investing, planning for retirement, managing inheritance, or optimising tax efficiency—an independent financial adviser can provide expert guidance to help you make the best choices. If you’re unsure, IFAs within our network offer a free initial consultation to discuss your needs.

Yes! Whether you need help with investments, pensions, estate planning, or tax strategies, we match you with an adviser who specialises in your specific financial needs to ensure you receive the most relevant advice.
