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.
  • Bergsmith Accountancy Services Ltd (FRN 961308) introduces customers to M&G ADVICE PARTNERS LIMITED (FRN 584256). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Bergsmith Accountancy Services.
  • Example: if Bergsmith Accountancy Services refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Bergsmith Accountancy Services 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.
