Introducer appointed representative
British Healthcare Trades Association can only introduce you to their principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.
Responsible principal firm
Verlingue Limited Reference number: 306088 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.
- British Healthcare Trades Association (FRN 440035) introduces customers to Verlingue Limited (FRN 306088). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not British Healthcare Trades Association.
- Example: if British Healthcare Trades Association refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from British Healthcare Trades Association 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.
