SME HCI Limited Reference number: 626422 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.
- M:M Bio Limited (FRN 971436) introduces customers to SME HCI Limited (FRN 626422). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not M:M Bio.
- Example: if M:M Bio refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from M:M Bio 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.

- 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.

- Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
- Total assets and total liabilities

- Cash at bank
