Responsible principal firm
SKM Asset Finance Limited Reference number: 673566 View firm →What does this mean?
- An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own.
- Coppard Plant Hire Ltd (FRN 765484) introduces customers to SKM Asset Finance Limited (FRN 673566). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Coppard Plant Hire.
- Example: if Coppard Plant Hire refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Coppard Plant Hire itself.
- 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.
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.

Turnover and profit
In the full report: all 6 years of accounts
- Every year from 2020 to 2025
- Both charts, over every year
- Every filed figure, year by year
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 30 June 2022 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 30 June 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 01056494. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
