Search by firm name or keyword, by Firm Reference Number (FRN), by individual name or by Individual Reference Number (IRN). For every match you get a flat, spreadsheet-ready record:

• Identity & status: FRN, firm name, regulatory status (Authorised, EEA Authorised, Registered, Cancelled, No longer authorised), sub status, status effective date, business type, Companies House number, mutual society number.
• Compliance flags: Money Laundering Regulations status, client money permission, PSD agent status, E-Money agent status.
• Contact: full address (lines, town, county, postcode, country), phone number and website.
• Regulated permissions: the firm's regulated activities and permissions, with a count.
• Approved individuals: name, Individual Reference Number (IRN) and status for each person approved at the firm, with a count.
• Trading names: current and previous names the firm trades under.
• Appointed representatives: current and previous ARs / IARs.
• Individual records: full name, IRN, status, current firm and controlled functions when you search people directly.

Why this one

• Pay per result only. No result, no charge. No per-run startup fee and no charge for empty or failed runs. Compare with tools that bill a fixed startup fee plus a per-firm fee on top.
• Full surface in one run. Permissions, approved individuals and appointed representatives are on by default, not locked-off add-ons.
• More filters: firm name, FRN, individual name, IRN, status and business type.
• Clean flat fields ready for CSV and Excel, deduplicated, with a live progress indicator.

How to use it

1. Get a free FCA Register developer key: register on the FCA developer portal, confirm your email and copy your email + API key.
2. Paste them into the FCA Developer Email and FCA Developer API Key fields (they are stored as secrets), or set the FCA_EMAIL and FCA_API_KEY environment variables.
3. Add one or more firm names, FRNs, individual names or IRNs. Optionally set a status or business type filter.
4. Set Max Firms / Max Individuals and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an API key? Yes, a free one. The FCA issues developer credentials (an email + key) at no cost. You supply your own so your quota is entirely yours. If no key is provided the run stops immediately with a clear message and you are not charged.

What does a Firm Reference Number (FRN) mean? It is the unique number the FCA assigns to each regulated firm. If you already have FRNs, put them in the FRNs field for exact, fast lookups; otherwise search by name.

Can I look up people, not just firms? Yes. Use Individual Names or IRNs to return approved individuals with their status, current firm and controlled functions.

Do you charge for empty runs? No. You are only charged per validated record returned. A search that matches nothing, or a run with missing credentials, costs nothing.

How fresh is the data? Every record is read live at run time, so it reflects the Register at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
