Responsible principal firm
Financing First Limited Reference number: 720098 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.
- Gentle Dentistry Care Limited (FRN 845927) introduces customers to Financing First Limited (FRN 720098). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Gentle Dentistry Care.
- Example: if Gentle Dentistry Care refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Gentle Dentistry Care 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.
