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.
  • Matford Arable Systems Limited (FRN 989550) introduces customers to Business Finance Brokers Limited (FRN 675825). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Matford Arable Systems.
  • Example: if Matford Arable Systems refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Matford Arable Systems 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.
