Introducer appointed representative

Mr Mark Allen can only introduce you to their 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.
  • Mr Mark Allen (FRN 1050451) introduces customers to CLEAR INSURANCE MANAGEMENT LIMITED (FRN 307982). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Mr Mark Allen.
  • Example: if Mr Mark Allen refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Mr Mark Allen 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.
