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.
  • Keat Farm (Caravans) Ltd (FRN 411554) introduces customers to Bspoke Lifestyle Ltd (FRN 820727). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Keat Farm (Caravans).
  • Example: if Keat Farm (Caravans) refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Keat Farm (Caravans) 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.
Profit before tax
What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.

Cash at bank
Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
