Responsible principal firm
TRADEHELP LTD Reference number: 697812 View 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.
- Apache Home Limited (FRN 1038685) introduces customers to TRADEHELP LTD (FRN 697812). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Apache Home.
- Example: if Apache Home refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Apache Home 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.
Website, phone number and address
Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.

- Net assets, or total equity
- Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
- Total assets and total liabilities

- Cash at bank

- Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.
