Responsible principal firm
Distinct Funeral Plans Limited Reference number: 965289 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.
- Mason's Funeral Directors Ltd (FRN 981757) introduces customers to Distinct Funeral Plans Limited (FRN 965289). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Mason's Funeral Directors.
- Example: if Mason's Funeral Directors refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Mason's Funeral Directors 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.
