  • Lewis Hullin Associates Ltd (FRN 1019543) is an AR of OPTIMUM COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS LTD (FRN 808754). When you use Lewis Hullin Associates's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Lewis Hullin Associates, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
