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. J. A. Edwards Insurance Brokers Limited (FRN 994116) is an AR of ACRISURE ELEVEN NETWORK LIMITED (FRN 314593). When you use J. A. Edwards Insurance Brokers's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm. Example: if you take financial advice from J. A. Edwards Insurance Brokers, 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 0116 238 8880 for J. A. Edwards Insurance Brokers. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further. The same number is also given by 100 other FCA firms, 3 of which are no longer authorised.

J. A. Edwards Insurance Brokers 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.
