We don’t mean to sound condescending, but based on our experience after checking thousands of files, the most common suitability report errors are typing, spelling and grammatical.
The suitability report is a cornerstone of your advice process and promotes your brand and standards of professionalism. A suitability report that is poorly written, unchecked and not proof read is likely to include errors and hence does not promote your brand in a favourable light.
Using a tool like ATEB Suitability will eliminate to a greater degree such errors by storing standardised text centrally. You can also use a browser with a built in spell checker to check your spelling as you go.
