Responsible principal firm
COVERSURE MIDLANDS LIMITED Reference number: 308065 View 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.
- Thousand Trades Limited (FRN 977314) is an AR of COVERSURE MIDLANDS LIMITED (FRN 308065). When you use Thousand Trades's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from Thousand Trades, 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.
