Introducer appointed representative

This firm can only introduce you to its principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.

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.
  • ITS TESTING SERVICES (UK) LIMITED (FRN 917761) introduces customers to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited (FRN 722968). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not ITS TESTING SERVICES (UK).
  • Example: if ITS TESTING SERVICES (UK) refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from ITS TESTING SERVICES (UK) 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.
