Responsible principal firm
Ventrica Ltd Reference number: 535777 View firm →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.
- British Insurance Brokers' Association (FRN 717810) introduces customers to Ventrica Ltd (FRN 535777). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not British Insurance Brokers' Association.
- Example: if British Insurance Brokers' Association refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from British Insurance Brokers' Association 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.
Identity
Check their details
Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
