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.
  • Abbie's Pets and Exotics Ltd (FRN 968702) introduces customers to Brooks Braithwaite (Sussex) Limited (FRN 304839). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Abbie's Pets and Exotics.
  • Example: if Abbie's Pets and Exotics refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Abbie's Pets and Exotics 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.
