What does this mean?

  • THE GO-AHEAD GROUP LIMITED (FRN 1001469) introduces customers to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited (FRN 722968). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not THE GO-AHEAD GROUP.
  • Example: if THE GO-AHEAD GROUP refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from THE GO-AHEAD 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.
