The best thing to do to get a fair idea is the following:

Look them up on the FSA Register. Click on 'Individuals' and trawl through looking at their staff's individual Controlled Functions. For example, if pretty much everyone was a CF30 or CF21 then it would begin to imply to me that it was mostly a sales for commission operation.

The second thing to do is to then click on each individual's 'History' to see where they have worked at before, how long they have stayed at each firm, what those firms were famous for.

While none of the above will give you a gospel answer, it may well give you a much clearer idea as to what the firm really is.

Obviously, there is no need to do any of this if they called you out of the blue. If that is the case then you already know what you need to do biggrin
