    In generally, if u have a less than £30 000 to invest, a percentage fee broker would tend to be cheaper than a flat fee broker. Other things to consider is trading costs, platform fees, availability of funds/shares you are interested in on the platform, exit fees.

    Are you planning to invest via a SIPP/ISA/regular investment account? They all have different fee structures.

    The goal of choosing a broker is to keep fees as low as possible to maximise any return.
