Investment

After we have purchased a house my wife and I (both around 50yrs) shall shortly have approx £230-£240k that we want to invest for an income after selling our business.
Haven't got a clue, any advice in simple terms would be most appreciated.

    Find a local IFA to talk you through your options. With that amount of money you definitely want professional advice rather than some random people on an internet forum ;)

    www.unbiased.co.uk is a good start

    At this point in time with the information you have given we are looking at about 38,000 options. I may type a lot but listing 38,000 options isnt really viable ;)

    You need to get the options narrowed down.
