Responsible principal firm
Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited Reference number: 722968 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.
- DP WORLD FREIGHT FORWARDING UK LTD (FRN 1055597) introduces customers to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited (FRN 722968). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not DP WORLD FREIGHT FORWARDING UK.
- Example: if DP WORLD FREIGHT FORWARDING UK refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from DP WORLD FREIGHT FORWARDING UK 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.
