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.
  • SGS United Kingdom Limited (FRN 958702) introduces customers to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited (FRN 722968). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not SGS United Kingdom.
  • Example: if SGS United Kingdom refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from SGS United Kingdom 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.
