How guides are made

  • Checked against the regulator. Fees, fines, dates and thresholds are being checked against the authority that sets them, guide by guide; where no official source confirms a figure, the guide says so.
  • Dated and re-checked. Each guide shows when it was last updated, and pages tied to a date or deadline are re-checked every month.
  • Independent and free. No company pays to appear in a guide or listing, and there is no paywall or sign-up.
