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.
  • Bowley & Sons Funeral Directors Ltd (FRN 1056062) introduces customers to Distinct Funeral Plans Limited (FRN 965289). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Bowley & Sons Funeral Directors.
  • Example: if Bowley & Sons Funeral Directors refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Bowley & Sons Funeral Directors 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.
