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.
  • Accelerator Advisory Limited (FRN 944411) is an AR of Enterprise Investment Partners LLP (FRN 604439). When you use Accelerator Advisory's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Accelerator Advisory, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.

Website, phone number and address
