Appointed representative

This firm does not hold FCA authorisation of its own. It acts under a principal firm, which is legally responsible for its regulated business.

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.
  • J Oliver Radley Opticians Limited (FRN 1041648) is an AR of ADARO OPTICS LIMITED (FRN 924690). When you use J Oliver Radley Opticians's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from J Oliver Radley Opticians, 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.
