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.
United Rental Group Limited (FRN 404590) introduces customers to Advisory Insurance Brokers Limited (FRN 313250). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not United Rental Group.
Example: if United Rental Group refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from United Rental Group itself.

This company holds another FCA record

A company can hold several FCA records, covering different parts of its business, and each one carries its own permissions and protection. The reference number you were given decides which record applies to you.
