Responsible principal firm
SME HCI Limited Reference number: 626422 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.
- Real Life Options Group (FRN 975368) introduces customers to SME HCI Limited (FRN 626422). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Real Life Options Group.
- Example: if Real Life Options Group refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Real Life Options Group 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.
