Appointed representative, but in an insolvency process

This firm is under the control of insolvency practitioners and may have stopped taking on new business. If you are or were a customer, deal with the appointed office holders rather than the firm.

What the FCA says

ATTENTION - Firm in an insolvency process

This firm is in an insolvency process. It is under the control of the appointed insolvency office holder(s) and may have stopped taking on new business. It has to continue to meet our standards in line with its regulatory status, including when dealing with its customers. If you are/were a customer check how this affects you with the firm or the appointed insolvency office holder(s).

The FCA register does not name a principal for this 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.
  • Social Housing Income Advisors Limited (FRN 815126) is listed as an appointed representative, but the register does not show its principal firm here. Find the principal on the FCA register before dealing with this firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Social Housing Income Advisors, 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.
