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.
  • Higgins Partnerships 1961 PLC (FRN 1021075) introduces customers to SME HCI Limited (FRN 626422). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Higgins Partnerships 1961.
  • Example: if Higgins Partnerships 1961 refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Higgins Partnerships 1961 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.
