Introducer appointed representative

This firm can only introduce you to its principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.

The FCA register does not name a principal for this firm.

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.
  • 2 START LIMITED (FRN 1042372) is listed as an introducer appointed representative, but the register does not show its principal firm here. Check the FCA register before sharing your details.
  • Example: if 2 START refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from 2 START 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.
