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.
  • Hit The Open Road Ltd (FRN 800190) introduces customers to Leisure Vehicle Franchising Ltd (FRN 668660). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Hit The Open Road.
  • Example: if Hit The Open Road refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Hit The Open Road 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.
