Hello!

I am contracting via my limited company (i.e. I am paying myself salary as director + dividends) and I'd like to open a pension program for myself.

As I understand, all I need is to open a pension program somewhere and make monthly payments from the company's bank account?

I tried Aviva, but on their website it is written you need to apply via financial adviser and I don't want to have any affairs with third parties.

Can you please advice the best way of opening a pension?

Many thanks...

Use the search for "pensions" and read the posts.

Right....... so you don't want a professional to look in to it for you but you are happy to ask a bunch of winkers in General... Good luck with that.

Buy a flat.

Then buy another flat.

Then buy another flat.

Buy a pension and you'll be getting your trousers pulled down every single day.
