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.
  • One Stop Searches Limited (FRN 1017619) introduces customers to CLS Property Insight Limited (FRN 718255). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not One Stop Searches.
  • Example: if One Stop Searches refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from One Stop Searches 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.

Identity
