Responsible principal firm
Dick Lovett Limited Reference number: 310722 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.
- Dick Lovett (Bristol) Ltd (FRN 411916) is an AR of Dick Lovett Limited (FRN 310722). When you use Dick Lovett (Bristol)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from Dick Lovett (Bristol), 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.
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.
