Responsible principal firm
Itc Compliance Limited Reference number: 313486 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.
- Wilsons Automobiles and Coachworks Limited (FRN 722723) is an AR of Itc Compliance Limited (FRN 313486). When you use Wilsons Automobiles and Coachworks's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from Wilsons Automobiles and Coachworks, 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.

- Both charts, over every year
- Every filed figure, year by year
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.
The figures for the year to 31 December 2025 were read from the printed accounts, because the filing does not tag them in a form that can be read automatically. They were checked against the accounts’ own totals.
These are group figures: the firm and the companies it owns, combined.
Accounts filed at Companies House for company 00272743. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
