uprosper® is an online financial advice service. Our plans provide advice across pensions, investments, protection and mortgages. We encourage more frequent communication which is more convenient for our clients and allows us more opportunity to get to know them.
Our mission is to make financial advice more affordable and accessible to everyone. You don't have to be wealthy to use our service. We also understand that while advice is desirable, it is not always possible for people to afford large upfront fees. Our low fees are fixed no matter how much or little you have to invest.
Our lead adviser is a Chartered Wealth Manager, Chartered Financial Planner, a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society and a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment. He was awarded the Applied Wealth Management award by the CISI in 2017.
We provide a range of services across investments, pensions, protection/insurance and mortgages (BTL, equity release included).
We can focus on a specific task, or conduct a full financial review of your circumstances, objectives and goals. We will always endeavour to understand your needs fully and explain our advice in clear terms to ensure you have a complete understanding.
