Call free on 0800 085 3250 or request a copy at www.unbiased.co.uk
The signs are all there - stock market falls, declining job market and a shrinking economy, but what can consumers do to protect themselves? IFA Promotion has produced a free guide, offering people helpful tips on how to prepare for leaner economic conditions.
The Guide to surviving an economic downturn looks at 'recession-friendly' financial products you could consider taking out and financial preparations you can make, coupled with some sensible tips on how to cut costs.
David Elms, Chief Executive at IFA Promotion comments: "It's impossible to say for certain that we are facing recession, but we have already seen signs of a change in the economic climate."
"Whilst we are unlikely to experience the problems of ten years ago, it is worthwhile making an effort to protect yourself should the worst happen, even it just means cutting down on what you spend in the pub!"
For a free copy of the guide, together with details of local independent financial advisers who can talk through your options in detail, call the IFA Promotion consumer hotline on 0800 085 3250 or visit www.unbiased.co.uk.

1. Independent Financial Adviser Promotion
Independent Financial Adviser Promotion Ltd was established in 1989 to promote the value and accessibility of independent financial advice to the public. It represents over 9,000 registered individual independent financial advisers across the UK and is sponsored by 31 leading financial institutions.
IFA Promotion's central belief is:
"Consumers have a right to financial advice that is independent of the providers of financial products - i.e. independent financial advice."
Furthermore independent financial advice should be:
- Affordable. The option to take independent financial advice should be available, by right, to all - not just the wealthiest in society.
- Convenient. IFAs should be available in the location of the consumer's choice, wherever they live in the UK.
- Transparent. It must be clearly transparent to consumers who is able to offer independent financial advice and who is not.
