Introducer appointed representative
This firm can only introduce you to its principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.
The FCA register does not name a principal for this 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.
- Sunspot Tours Limited (FRN 488129) is listed as an introducer appointed representative, but the register does not show its principal firm here. Check the FCA register before sharing your details.
- Example: if Sunspot Tours refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Sunspot Tours 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
Check their details
Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
