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.
  • Holden Associates Limited (FRN 934606) introduces customers to Continuum (Financial Services) LLP (FRN 802331). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Holden Associates.
  • Example: if Holden Associates refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Holden Associates 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.
