What does this mean?
  • An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own.
  • The Alfa Romeo Owners Club Limited (FRN 1024328) introduces customers to Chris Knott Insurance Consultants Limited (FRN 304452). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not The Alfa Romeo Owners Club.
  • Example: if The Alfa Romeo Owners Club refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from The Alfa Romeo Owners Club itself.
  • 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
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.

There is no turnover or profit: small companies do not have to publish them.

Accounts filed at Companies House for company 01106134. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
