  • CLMS (North) Limited (FRN 936614) is an AR of AFL (FLEET MANAGEMENT) LTD (FRN 664440). When you use CLMS (North)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from CLMS (North), complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
