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.
  • Garthco Limited (FRN 971877) introduces customers to BOC LIMITED (FRN 715528). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Garthco.
  • Example: if Garthco refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Garthco 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.
