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.
  • Gordon Black (FRN 1043688) introduces customers to Tabeo Finance Limited (FRN 777539). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Gordon Black.
  • Example: if Gordon Black refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Gordon Black itself.
