Meeting with an Advisor...

If you have not dealt with a financial adviser yet and are wondering what such a meeting should look like, how to prepare and what you can expect, below are some tips that may be helpful.

What can you expect from an insurance advisor?

• First of all, he should introduce himself, give you his business card with his contact details and the name of the company he represents, and provide you with the Initial Disclosure Document - IDD and General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the ‘GDPR’) document.

• The adviser is obliged to present you with the 'complaint' procedure, for example, if you have reservations about the advice they have given you.

• FCA registration number - remember only to discuss important matters such as insurance or credit with qualified, regulated and legal persons.

• an insurance advisor does not charge for consultancy

How to prepare for the meeting?

• Take your time. Each meeting is different but usually takes about two hours depending on your needs. It is time for you. The advisor will answer your questions, explain the rules of operation of individual policies, explain possible exclusions and determine the best solution with you.

• If you have a partner that you want to include in your policy, his/ her presence may also be significant, but as far as possible, schedule the meeting so that you feel comfortable - without the presence of outsiders.

• Pre-analyze your income and expenses (if you are going to talk about income protection insurance, you will need to provide your gross annual income to calculate the policy parameters)

• Most policies will require you to provide information about your health, so if you have had any operations or treatments, were on sick leave, or were taking any medications, please be prepared to provide details. This will make it easier for you to answer the insurer's questions when applying for the policy.

• Due to regulations, the advisor may ask you to prove your identity (you can do this by showing your ID card or passport, for example) and your residential address (this could be an energy or water bill, council tax, tax assessment, bank statement.)

• If you already have any other insurance policies, the advisor should verify their validity and assess whether any changes are justified. Remember, if you want to change your existing policies, do not cancel the existing policies before starting a new one. Ask for a precise explanation of the differences - you should get a so-called replacement form.
