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.
Dental Smiles Chelmsford Ltd (FRN 1014784) introduces customers to Dental Smiles Takeley Ltd (FRN 912307). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Dental Smiles Chelmsford.
Example: if Dental Smiles Chelmsford refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Dental Smiles Chelmsford 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.

About these figures

Turnover: Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
