Authorised by the FCA

This firm is on the FCA register and authorised to carry out regulated activities.

This company holds another FCA record

A company can hold several FCA records, covering different parts of its business, and each one carries its own permissions and protection. The reference number you were given decides which record applies to you.

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.

    Your money must be kept in a separate safeguarded account. If the firm fails, all safeguarded funds should be returned to you. With no upper limit, unlike the capped amounts under FSCS.

  • Give regulated advice FSCS may apply
    A claim for unsuitable advice is itself FSCS-protected, up to the limit that applies to the product you were advised on.
  • Manage or trade investments · Run or oversee funds FSCS may apply
    Eligible investment and pension claims are typically FSCS-protected up to £85,000 per person, depending on the product and your circumstances.

About these figures
Turnover
Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
Profit before tax
What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
Net assets, or total equity
Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
Total assets and total liabilities
Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
Cash at bank
Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
Owed within a year, owed after a year
Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.

Figures from the year to 31 December 2025 are for the group: the company and the businesses it owns. Earlier years are the company’s own accounts, from before it had a group.

The figures for the year to 31 December 2025 were read from the printed accounts, because the filing does not tag them in a form that can be read automatically. They were checked against the accounts’ own totals.

Accounts filed at Companies House for company 04940982. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
