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.
  • Forged Solutions Group Limited (FRN 964825) introduces customers to SME HCI Limited (FRN 626422). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Forged Solutions Group.
  • Example: if Forged Solutions Group refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Forged Solutions Group 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.
