    NEST pensions for self employed

    Your absolutely right to do as much research as possible before you do anything. Re. your point on online access to your NEST pension, if anyone suggests a pension from any provider that doesn't give you online access to values, you should run a mile. Your concerns about IFA's are also...

    NEST pensions for self employed

    As with many things the government come up with, Nest is a good concept, just poorly executed. They have introduced pension auto enrolment for employers. NEST is the default option.

    possible business idea - question for van owners.

    The obvious answer to the OP's question would be yes. Of course people would be interested in halving their fuel bill.

    Webeurope: friend or fiend?

    I'll lay my cards on the table here before I make my post. I am an ex soldier who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. A very close friend of mine also has one of the Forces Recruitment Services franchises. There is a lot of bluster and smoke and mirrors with this current situation. Firstly FRS...

    Hi from a new member

    I've been looking on the boards for a little while now but only just joined tonight. I've been very impressed with the information I have read up to now and I hope to be able to put it to some use. A bit about me. I'm currently employed in a relatively safe job in the financial services...
