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.
  • UK Birds Limited (FRN 959341) introduces customers to Brooks Braithwaite (Sussex) Limited (FRN 304839). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not UK Birds.
  • Example: if UK Birds refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from UK Birds 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.
