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.
  • Horizon Boat Sales Ltd (FRN 997917) introduces customers to TAFCO LIMITED (FRN 733516). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Horizon Boat Sales.
  • Example: if Horizon Boat Sales refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Horizon Boat Sales 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.
