Cambridge Financial Advisers Ltd

Cambridge Financial Advisers Ltd (FRN 993773) is not directly authorised. It is an appointed representative acting under the responsibility of a directly authorised principal firm.

An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct. Cambridge Financial Advisers Ltd (FRN 993773) is an AR of BV Services (FRN 117954). When you use Cambridge Financial Advisers's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm. Example: if you take financial advice from Cambridge Financial Advisers, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances. Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.

The FCA register lists the phone number 01223 872278 and the website cambridgefinancialadvisers.co.uk for Cambridge Financial Advisers. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further.

Cambridge Financial Advisers is a genuine FCA-listed firm, and the FCA has published no warnings about fake versions of it. Scammers do copy real firms, though, so check that any contact details you were given match the ones on the register.

Protection works through BV Services, the principal firm responsible for Cambridge Financial Advisers's regulated activity. FSCS cover and the Financial Ombudsman Service apply as they would to the principal.
