What the FCA says
ATTENTION - Firm in an insolvency process
This firm is in an insolvency process. It is under the control of the appointed insolvency office holder(s) and may have stopped taking on new business.

If you are/were a customer check how this affects you with the firm or the appointed insolvency office holder(s).
Responsible principal firm
INTERESTME FINANCIAL PLANNING LIMITED Reference number: 542680 Caution 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.
- INTERESTME ADVISERS LIMITED (FRN 807530) is an AR of INTERESTME FINANCIAL PLANNING LIMITED (FRN 542680). When you use INTERESTME ADVISERS's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from INTERESTME ADVISERS, 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.

Past FCA permissions and consumer protection
- In an insolvency processMoney the firm held is returned through the appointed office holders, which takes time and can fall short. The FSCS covers eligible claims up to its limits, and the Ombudsman can still look at a complaint.
FCA disciplinary action and complaints
No FCA disciplinary action.
The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
