Responsible principal firm
Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited Reference number: 958152 View firm →What does this mean?
- An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
- Donald McLaren Limited (FRN 980900) is an AR of Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited (FRN 958152). When you use Donald McLaren's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from Donald McLaren, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
- Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.
