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 Croft School LTD (FRN 958686) is an AR of Premium Credit Limited (FRN 702718). When you use The Croft School's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from The Croft School, 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.
