Appointed representative

This firm does not hold FCA authorisation of its own, and acts under a principal firm, which is legally responsible for its regulated business.

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.
  • Harris Begley Lifetime Partners Ltd (FRN 489218) is an AR of Quilter Mortgage Planning Limited (FRN 440718). When you use Harris Begley Lifetime Partners's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Harris Begley Lifetime Partners, 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.
