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.
  • Hipco Yorkshire Ltd (FRN 810446) introduces customers to SHERMIN FINANCE LIMITED (FRN 727594). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Hipco Yorkshire.
  • Example: if Hipco Yorkshire refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Hipco Yorkshire 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.
