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.
  • LARA-MAY FURNITURE LIMITED (FRN 1029627) introduces customers to Social Money Limited (FRN 675283). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not LARA-MAY FURNITURE.
  • Example: if LARA-MAY FURNITURE refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from LARA-MAY FURNITURE 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.
