AUTO GB LTD. Reference number: 729087 View firm →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.
- Paul Stephens Ltd (FRN 432546) introduces customers to AUTO GB LTD. (FRN 729087). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Paul Stephens.
- Example: if Paul Stephens refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Paul Stephens 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.
