Responsible principal firm
SHERMIN FINANCE LIMITED Reference number: 727594 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.
- Connected Gas Heating & Water Limited (FRN 798314) introduces customers to SHERMIN FINANCE LIMITED (FRN 727594). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Connected Gas Heating & Water.
- Example: if Connected Gas Heating & Water refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Connected Gas Heating & Water 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.
