Is PensionBee the only pension scheme that will find all of your freelance pension pots and keep them in one place? Or is there another option? And will the 25% government top up be automatically generated upon setting up a PensionBee account?

How specialised are you in providing independent financial advice to TV freelancers. How many IFAs cover this area? What is the benefit of choosing a specialist firm rather than general IFAs?

Great, thanks for answering that Jessica and Becs.

Hey Jessica. Hey Danielle. I'm a limited company but not VAT registered. In recent years, for things like hiring crew and licensing material for my independent projects, I've been receiving more invoices that include VAT. I continue to swallow up the VAT when I make these payments and this is a small to large financial hit for me each time... so I'm tempted to become VAT registered but also apprehensive about the extra accounting work it would entail. What do you advise please? Fast process?

How would you advise Freelancers to budget for the year ahead, when they don't know what contracts they have ahead of them?

My partner and I are both freelancers with separate limited companies. Will we face challenges getting a mortgage?

Can you please explain when would be best to move from self employment to limited company? Is it when an earnings threshold is reached?

Please can you also advise if consolidating all auto enrollment penions into one private pension is a wise thing to do? Ive just done this and it feels better having all little pots now in one place.

Can you recommend any investment platforms that are better than Vanguard life strategy ISA? Something that is easy to manage online and where you can adapt payments in depending on income (ie. As freelancers we dont have the same amount of earnings each month so some months need to be lighter on savings)

Is topping up workplace pensions better than taking out a private pension?

How much does it cost to use IF advisors? What range of fees can you expect to pay?

I don't own a house or have a pension - I do have savings sitting in ISAs. Would you advise prioritising buying a home or properly investing in a pension?

@ZoeHutton sorry we didn't get round to your question, you can always email TJP direct to ask!
