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.
Donnelly Bros Garages (Fermanagh) Ltd (FRN 403904) is an AR of DONNELLY BROS. GARAGES (DUNGANNON) LIMITED (FRN 311440). When you use Donnelly Bros Garages (Fermanagh)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
