Not sure if you need financial advice?

If you'd like to start thinking about your future plans, but you're not quite ready for financial advice from one of our experts, a free Financial Fitness Report is a great place to start. It's simply a conversation where we find out about you and your financial goals and see if you could benefit from our help.

It’s free to see if you're on track towards your financial goals.

We've found that 30% of people are worried about the future of their finances, because they don't have everything in order*. Having a Financial Fitness Report with us could help. It starts with a conversation over the phone- you don't even need to leave the comfort of your home.

At the end of the conversation, you’ll receive a free report outlining the four steps that form the basis of our financial planning principles, and steps you could consider to improve your financial fitness. You'll also receive an insightful guide containing further information to help you with your next steps.

*2000 UK participants were asked, research carried by One Poll for Skipton Building Society in July, 2020.

How it works

Step-by-step we'll take you through:

  1. Your financial foundations: your emergency funds and how much you’ve put away for rainy days.
  2. Short-term savings: what you’ve got planned over the next few years.
  3. Growing your money: how you plan to build your savings, pension and legacy pots.
  4. Your future goals: your long term goals and how prepared you are for your financial future.

If there are any areas that need a bit more focus and attention, we’ll explain ways we might be able to help.

This isn’t financial advice, but we might suggest setting up a meeting with a financial adviser if we both agree. With our No Pressure Promise though, that’s completely up to you.

How long does a Financial Fitness Report last?

It completely depends on you, it can take as little as 30 minutes, but if you want to talk about all aspects of your finances in detail, it can take longer. That's fine by us. We're happy to spend as long as it takes to help you plan for your financial future.

Is the Financial Fitness Report financial advice?

No, its simply a friendly conversation with one of our helpful colleagues, in order to talk through various aspects of your finances. If we think you could benefit from an initial chat with one of our financial advisers, we may suggest that, but it's completely up to you if you decide to go ahead.

Do I need to prepare anything before hand?

To help you make the most of your Financial Fitness Report appointment, its a good idea to have the following things to hand, or noted down:

  • Details of the protection you have in place for you or your family.
  • A rough idea of any money you owe including mortgage, loans and credit cards.
  • Any savings, investments and pensions you have.
