Find out more about our service from our helpdesk

Our advisory helpdesk are an essential part of our service.

This is the first step of the HL financial advice journey and straight away, they’ll help you check if advice would be a good fit for your needs.

There’s no obligation to take advice after this call. In fact, if it seems like advice isn’t the right path for you, they’ll explain ways you can make sound financial decisions on your own.

They’ll also answer any questions you may have about our service including how much it may cost.

No personal advice will be given on this call. That will come later from your adviser if you decide to proceed.

Please note: we can only provide advice to UK residents. If you’re resident overseas, unfortunately we’re unable to advise you.
