Leonard Carver & Sons can only introduce you to their principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.

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.
  • Leonard Carver & Sons (FRN 461613) introduces customers to CLEAR INSURANCE MANAGEMENT LIMITED (FRN 307982). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Leonard Carver & Sons.
