Firms submitting regular introductions may qualify for Platinum terms and receive 55% of the gross commission generated. Once again O&M retain the balance subject to a minimum of £750.

The rate of commission paid to O&M will vary from provider to provider and will change from time to time, therefore it is not possible to provide details.

If you wish you can exchange your share of initial commission for fund based commission provided you raise this with O&M when the client is introduced.

Platinum Terms

Regular introducers may qualify for "Platinum Terms". This will be reviewed on the anniversary of the agreement. The introducer must have had at least 10 cases receive advice during the previous 12 months.

Fee Based Service

Although the vast majority of our clients prefer us to act for them on a commission basis, it is important that your client has the option to receive fee based advice O&M will normally quote a fee to your client of £2,000 + vat, although in complex cases O&M reserve the right to charge the client an additional amount. We will always ask the first £500 + vat to be paid before we start work, with the balance being paid upon completion of the advice process.

The £2,000 + vat amount we quote, assumes a £1,000 + vat payment to the introducer (subject to your vat status), however, you have the option to reduce your share of the fee if you wish to which would result in a discounted fee being quoted.

NB. It should be noted that users of the fee-based service would pay a fee even for cases where a transfer cannot be recommended.
