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.
  • Barnes Contracting Ltd (FRN 975129) introduces customers to BOC LIMITED (FRN 715528). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Barnes Contracting.
  • Example: if Barnes Contracting refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Barnes Contracting itself.
