There aren’t many things in this life that are free and independent financial advice is no different. After trawling the internet for a considerable period of time we found only a few sites that offer free advice with regards to finances and many of these tended to focus on debt relief and debt management. With this in mind, we have gathered together what we consider to be the best sites to visit to get free financial advice and have listed them below.

The Citizen’s Advice Bureau – the CAB has been giving out free impartial financial advice since they first opened their doors and their information is always up to date. You can visit their website for general information about numerous financial issues or for more personal advice you can call into one of their 3000 high street branches around the country.

The Financial Services Authority – the FSA oversees virtually every aspect of the financial world in the UK and their website has plenty of free advice and information about most financial products, including loans, savings, mortgages, investments and insurances. Again, all the advice is impartial and as up to date as it possibly can be.

The Pensions Advisory Service – obviously this site is just for pension and retirement advice but it is free and packed full of useful information. You can find out about the different pension options available, pension credits and how to save for retirement.

Tax Aid – the Tax Aid site offers all kinds of advice about tax issues within the UK. You can learn about tax payments and how they’re calculated, claiming tax back and about paying your taxes if you’re self employed or thinking of becoming self employed.

Unbiased.co.uk – this is a great site and offers good advice on a number of financial matters including investments, tax, pensions, mortgages and savings. You will also find a section containing useful tips from Independent Financial Advisors. The site also allows you to search for an IFA within your geographical area.

The Consumer Credit Counselling Service – the CCCS does give free financial advice however it tends to be aimed at those who are in financial difficulties and are struggling with debt. Their advice on these subjects is very good though and they will try to help you sort your debt problems out with one of the available solutions.

The websites and services mentioned above are all free to use however some of the information and advice may be quite generic. If this is all you need though then these are definitely the places to try first.
