I was looking at a p2p platform and it turned out their FCA status is an appointed representative of another company.
Would you invest in such a company? Why wouldn't they obtain FCA authorisation in their own right?

Quite a few platforms started as AR to get going and then switched to own Auth later. PC, HC, B&G. Cost may also be a factor, don't need all the compliance side, legals, as someone covers that for a fee.
