  • F.P. GAUNT & SONS LIMITED (FRN 814102) is an AR of Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited (FRN 958152). When you use F.P. GAUNT & SONS's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from F.P. GAUNT & SONS, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
