- Appointed for 2 years
- Protected through the principal
- No FCA actions
- Active company since 2013
- Accounts filed up to 31 August 2025
Responsible principal firm
TMG Direct Limited Reference number: 786245 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.
- FIND A MORTGAGE ONLINE LTD (FRN 1011535) is an AR of TMG Direct Limited (FRN 786245). When you use FIND A MORTGAGE ONLINE's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from FIND A MORTGAGE ONLINE, 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.
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.

- Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
- Total assets and total liabilities
