Frasers Group Financial Services Limited Reference number: 311908 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.
- I Saw It First Limited (FRN 986444) introduces customers to Frasers Group Financial Services Limited (FRN 311908). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not I Saw It First.
- Example: if I Saw It First refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from I Saw It First 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.

- Profit before tax

- Net assets, or total equity
- Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
- Total assets and total liabilities
- Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
