Permission varied or cancelled on 8 April 2026
The Authority has cancelled the permission and withdrawn the authorisation of APEX MIDLAND LIMITED “the Firm” of 2A Abingdon Road, Leicester, LE2 1HA (principal place of business address) and 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ (registered office address). The reason for this action is that the Authority considers the Firm is carrying on no regulated activities to which its Part 4A permission relates. The Authority’s action took effect on 8 April 2026 and a copy of the Notice of Decision issued under Schedule 6A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the Act), which sets out the reason for the action, is displayed on the Authority’s website and can be accessed using the following link: https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/decision-notices/apex-midland-limited-2026.pdf As a consequence of this action the Firm is no longer an authorised firm for the purposes of the Act and it may not carry on regulated activities which fall within the scope of the Act.
The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.

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.
There is no turnover or profit: small companies do not have to publish them.
