Who regulates The Review Business?

The Review Business is a trading name of EGB Financial Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

EGB Financial Limited

EGB Financial Limited is the company behind The Review Business. We provide independent financial advice on pensions and investments, alongside mortgage and protection advice.

We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under firm reference number 506519. You can verify this directly on the FCA Register.

Our Companies House registration number is 06731631. You can verify this on Companies House.

What FCA regulation means for you

Being FCA-regulated means we are held to strict standards on how we advise, how we handle your money, and how we treat you as a client. Specifically:

  • All advice must be suitable for your personal circumstances.
  • Costs and charges must be explained clearly before you commit.
  • You may be eligible for compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if an authorised firm fails, subject to its rules and limits. Check eligibility.
  • You have the right to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service if something goes wrong.

Independent advice

We are classified as independent, which means we are not tied to any product provider. When we recommend a pension, investment, insurance policy or mortgage, it is because we believe it is right for you — not because we are paid to recommend it.

Our pension and investment advice is paid for through agreed adviser charges. Mortgage and protection work can involve commission, which we disclose alongside any client fee before you proceed.
