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.
  • APLEY AUTOMOTIVE LTD (FRN 1056674) introduces customers to LowRateCarFinance Limited (FRN 963856). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not APLEY AUTOMOTIVE.
  • Example: if APLEY AUTOMOTIVE refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from APLEY AUTOMOTIVE 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.
