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.
  • Ellisa Motors Limited (FRN 404255) is an AR of Automotive Compliance Limited (FRN 497010). When you use Ellisa Motors's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Ellisa Motors, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.

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.
