Thanks Les. Good to know you're on the same page as the SSAS provider. I'm at the Technical Insight event in Leeds tomorrow so will see you there. There's a technical bod from Denton's Pensions presenting so I might ask him his views as well, es…

Hi Ben, Not come across this situation yet and a search doesn't reveal much written on the matter, however I did find disqualifying pension credits referred to in this link from Royal London from 17/01/24. https://adviser.royallondon.com/techni…

Hello Newbie, I entered the Paraplanning profession 12 years ago, in a similar position to you, as a career changer, I was 35 at the time with no background or knowledge of financial planning. It was the skill set of a Paraplanner that attracted …
