INSURANCE BROKERS
The insurance industry is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which is an independent organisation responsible for regulating all financial services in the UK. Insurance brokers should be registered with the FSA. Always check a firm is authorised by them, or is the agent of an authorised firm before you do business with them. If they are not authorised and things go wrong you will not have access to complaints procedures and compensation schemes. You can check that a broker is registered via the FSA website: www.fsa.gov.uk/register or you can telephone them on 020 7676 1000.
Pub insurance is a specialist form of insurance and you should check that your broker has experience of arranging this.
