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.

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.
  • Thomas Miller Defence Ltd (FRN 417494) is an AR of THE UNITED KINGDOM FREIGHT DEMURRAGE AND DEFENCE ASSOCIATION LIMITED (FRN 202588). When you use Thomas Miller Defence's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Thomas Miller Defence, 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.
