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.
  • F.W.S. Supplies Ltd (FRN 993697) introduces customers to BOC LIMITED (FRN 715528). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not F.W.S. Supplies.
  • Example: if F.W.S. Supplies refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from F.W.S. Supplies 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.
