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.
  • Gloucestershire Leisure Ltd (FRN 1025053) introduces customers to Auto Finance Online Limited (FRN 832181). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Gloucestershire Leisure.
  • Example: if Gloucestershire Leisure refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Gloucestershire Leisure itself.
