About this specialist

The FCA Register specialist provides instant lookups of the Financial Services Register, the definitive record of firms and individuals authorised by the FCA. Check whether a firm is authorised, what activities it can carry out, view its appointed representatives, and look up individual approvals (SMF, CF roles). Every response links to the official register entry.

Built for compliance officers running due diligence, IFAs checking competitor permissions, law firms verifying firm authorisations, and accountancy firms onboarding regulated clients. Complements the FCA Regulation specialist (SP-09) which covers Handbook rules. This specialist covers the Register itself.
