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.
  • Tools 2U Direct SW Ltd (FRN 1000033) 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 Tools 2U Direct SW refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Tools 2U Direct SW 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.
