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.
  • Windmill (Heaton) Orthodontics Limited (FRN 1003944) introduces customers to Riverdale Tradeco Limited (FRN 845851). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Windmill (Heaton) Orthodontics.
  • Example: if Windmill (Heaton) Orthodontics refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Windmill (Heaton) Orthodontics 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.
