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.
  • Autocraft Equipment Limited (FRN 1018745) introduces customers to PMD Leasing Limited (FRN 716412). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Autocraft Equipment.
  • Example: if Autocraft Equipment refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Autocraft Equipment 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.
