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.
  • Vanquish Car Centre Ltd (FRN 1014972) introduces customers to Equaliti Ltd (FRN 952416). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Vanquish Car Centre.
  • Example: if Vanquish Car Centre refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Vanquish Car Centre 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.
