Authorised, 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.

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.

The Firm must not accept any further funds from customers. 4. The assets restriction at paragraph 2 does not apply to: a. monetary payments or the disposal of assets made by the Firm in the ordinary course of business, amounting to no more than £3,000 whether as a single transaction or a combination of related transactions; and b. usual and proper salary payments made by the Firm (and which had been agreed prior to the imposition of the Voluntary Undertaking). 5. For the purposes of paragraph 4, the following payments would not be regarded as payments made in the ordinary course of business: a. Payments of unusual or significant amounts to the Firm’s controllers, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or any connected persons (whether as a single transaction or a combination of related transactions). b. The making of any capital distribution. c. The making of any gift or loan by the Firm to any party. d. Payments made as part of any financial restructuring or reorganisation of its business, of from the sale of any part. 6. Further, the business restriction at paragraph 1 and the assets restriction at paragraph 2 do not prevent customers of the Firm from withdrawing: a. funds that have been safeguarded in accordance with regulation 20 of the Electronic Money Regulations 2011; and b. cryptoassets that are held outside of the Boost Accounts. 7. For the avoidance of doubt, the assets restriction at paragraph 2, and the restriction on accepting new funds from customers at paragraph 3, do not prevent the Firm from receiving funding from an investor.

    Restriction 1. The Firm must not, without the prior written consent of the Authority, take any action which has the effect of disposing of, withdrawing, transferring, dealing with or diminishing the value of the Boost Accounts, for itself on behalf of another. Only the Firm can seek such written consent from the Authority (any such request to be accompanied by appropriate supporting evidence) pursuant to the terms of this Direction. Restriction 2. The Firm must not, without the prior written consent of the Authority, accept any further deposits from Boost Customers into the Boost Accounts.

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