Authorisation being cancelled, but in an insolvency process

This firm is under the control of insolvency practitioners and may have stopped taking on new business. If you are or were a customer, deal with the appointed office holders rather than the firm.

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. It has to continue to meet our standards in line with its regulatory status, including when dealing with its customers. If you are/were a customer check how this affects you with the firm or the appointed insolvency office holder(s).

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 process
    Money 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.

Limits on the record

  • Not permitted to canvass off trade premises
    The firm is not permitted to canvass regulated borrower-lender-supplier agreements or regulated consumer hire agreements off trade premises
One supervisory condition set by the FCA

These are conditions the FCA places on the firm itself, covering things like capital it must hold and what it must report. They do not change what the firm may do for you.

  • Voluntary Application for Variation of Permission (VVOP)
    Variation 1. The following regulated activities will be removed from the Firm’s Part 4A permissions: a. Insurance i. Advising on investments (except on Pension Transfers and Pension Opt Outs) ii. Arranging (bringing about) deals in investments iii. Making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments b. Consumer credit i. Credit Broking ii. Debt Adjusting iii. Debt-counselling iv. Providing Credit Information Services 3. Other i. Agreeing to carry on a regulated activity Notification and effective date 4. Variation 1 will be submitted on Connect by the Firm within 5 working days of acceptance of this VVOP by the Authority. 5 . The Firm must notify the Authority via email once it has applied to remove the regulated activities, as per Variation 1 above, on its Connect portal. Definitions and Interpretation 6. Where relevant for interpreting this application, terms have the same meaning as in the Glossary of the FCA Handbook. Recording the Requirement 7. The Firm consents to the Variation being reflected on the Firm’s entry on the Authority’s Financial Services Register

FCA disciplinary action and complaints

No FCA disciplinary action.

About these figures
Turnover
Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
Profit before tax
What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
Net assets, or total equity
Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
Total assets and total liabilities
Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
Cash at bank
Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
Owed within a year, owed after a year
Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.
