Introducer appointed representative

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

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.
  • Ability Handling Limited (FRN 1014123) introduces customers to APROLIS UK LIMITED (FRN 697808). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Ability Handling.
  • Example: if Ability Handling refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Ability Handling 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.

Identity

Check their details
