You should ask a Financial Planner before he gives you financial advice:

• 1. What are your qualifications?

• 2. What is your method of remuneration (fees or commission) and explain?

• 3. Do you belong to a professional body - if yes which one?

• 4. How many years experience do you have in giving advice?

• 5. Do you have any references?
  

• 6. Are you a licensed financial services provider and what is your number?

• 7. What "after sales back-up" do you provide?

• 8. What can I do if I am dissatisfied with your services?

• 9. What is your marketing plan and how does it apply to my investment with you?

• 10. Which product providers do you support?
