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.
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.
- Somerset County Cars Limited (FRN 582452) 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 Somerset County Cars, 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.
Identity
Check their details
Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
