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.
  • Gymnova (UK) Limited (FRN 784385) introduces customers to PMD Leasing Limited (FRN 716412). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Gymnova (UK).
  • Example: if Gymnova (UK) refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Gymnova (UK) 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.
