  • Business Insurance Brokers Ltd (FRN 996892) is an AR of GAUNTLET RISK MANAGEMENT LIMITED (FRN 308081). When you use Business Insurance Brokers's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Business Insurance Brokers, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
