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.
  • IAM Driver Retraining Academy Ltd (FRN 944449) introduces customers to Got You Covered Limited (FRN 771679). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not IAM Driver Retraining Academy.
  • Example: if IAM Driver Retraining Academy refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from IAM Driver Retraining Academy 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.
