This firm does not hold FCA authorisation of its own, and acts under a principal firm, which is legally responsible for its regulated business.
- Appointed for 11 years
- Protected through the principal
- No FCA actions
- Active company since 2010
- Accounts filed up to 31 March 2025
Responsible principal firm
Chrysalis Finance Limited Reference number: 631193 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.
- IQ Orthodontics Limited (FRN 688822) is an AR of Chrysalis Finance Limited (FRN 631193). When you use IQ Orthodontics's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from IQ Orthodontics, 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.
