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.
  • G&A Cars Ltd (FRN 1042567) introduces customers to Finset Limited (FRN 987805). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not G&A Cars.
  • Example: if G&A Cars refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from G&A Cars 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.
