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.
  • The Aspire Consultancy (Bristol) Ltd (FRN 608558) is an AR of The Aspire Partnership LLP (FRN 518833). When you use The Aspire Consultancy (Bristol)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from The Aspire Consultancy (Bristol), 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.
