Our Clients
At Michael Barr & Co we only work with clients on a fee basis and do not accept commission based work. We firmly believe that working this way is important in the advice we provide and the results we are able to deliver. We are not reliant on advising on products which offer attractive commission structures. In fact much of the investment advice we provide to our clients does not provide commission and so would not be included in a traditional commission based portfolio.
To ensure an extremely high service level is achieved at all times, we choose to restrict the number of clients we work with. If you like what you read here, please review our new client criteria, to see if Michael Barr would be able to accept you as a new client?
Our Office Location
Our office is located in Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire, close to Blackpool and just 12 minutes off the M55. Our relatively close proximity to the M55 means that we are easily accessible to clients from throughout the North West UK, including Preston, Manchester, Lancaster, Cheshire and Merseyside. We actually have clients based throughout the UK and overseas as following initial meetings it is possible to do much of our business remotely.
