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.
  • IRON & EARTH EQUIPMENT LTD (FRN 840126) introduces customers to WEST END LEASING LIMITED (FRN 674006). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not IRON & EARTH EQUIPMENT.
  • Example: if IRON & EARTH EQUIPMENT refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from IRON & EARTH EQUIPMENT 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.
