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.
  • Zip Heaters (UK) Limited (FRN 955864) introduces customers to Culligan Water Limited (FRN 621812). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Zip Heaters (UK).
  • Example: if Zip Heaters (UK) refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Zip Heaters (UK) itself.
