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.
  • THE STEPSTONE GROUP UK LTD (FRN 928552) introduces customers to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited (FRN 722968). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not THE STEPSTONE GROUP UK.
  • Example: if THE STEPSTONE GROUP UK refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from THE STEPSTONE GROUP UK 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.
