  • Decision notice issued on 23 October 2025, under appeal
    The Authority has given Beauforce Corporation Limited (“the Firm”) a Decision Notice to cancel the firm’s authorisation. The Firm referred the Decision Notice to the Upper Tribunal (“the Tribunal”). Any findings in the Decision Notice are therefore provisional and reflect the Authority's belief as to what occurred. The proposed action outlined in the Decision Notice will have no effect pending the determination of the case by the Tribunal. The Tribunal's decision will be made public on its website.

The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
