Responsible principal firm
The Underwriting Exchange Limited Reference number: 537650 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.
- Stonehatch Risk Solutions Limited (FRN 648727) is an AR of The Underwriting Exchange Limited (FRN 537650). When you use Stonehatch Risk Solutions's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from Stonehatch Risk Solutions, 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.

About these figures

- Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.

- 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.

- Owed within a year, owed after a year
- Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.
