Responsible principal firm
Alan Boswell Insurance Brokers Limited Reference number: 301081 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.
- The Guild of Residential Landlords Limited (FRN 422679) introduces customers to Alan Boswell Insurance Brokers Limited (FRN 301081). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not The Guild of Residential Landlords.
- Example: if The Guild of Residential Landlords refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from The Guild of Residential Landlords 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.
