Advice on Pension needed

Options
Hi All!

I am 25 and run my own business and have never had a pension thus far.

What shall I look for with a pension?

I have no idea about them at all, but need to get to know so I can start planning for the future.

Thanks

    Investment options (those that offer what you want) and charges. Typically, the cheapest options for you will come from IFAs.

    You do. Most self employed dont realise that they get lower state pensions than employed. So, the earlier a self employed person starts the better.
