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.
  • Jake Williams Automotives Ltd (FRN 1043572) introduces customers to Finset Limited (FRN 987805). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Jake Williams Automotives.
  • Example: if Jake Williams Automotives refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Jake Williams Automotives 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.
