  • Spartan Financial Solutions Limited (FRN 659196) is an AR of OSL Financial Services Ltd (FRN 948512). When you use Spartan Financial Solutions's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Spartan Financial Solutions, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
