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.
  • Rentokil Initial UK Ltd (FRN 403022) is an AR of Rentokil Insurance Limited (FRN 202318). When you use Rentokil Initial UK's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Rentokil Initial UK, 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.
