SIFA 6.6 Further Information

Firms that are not authorised and are enquiring about applying for authorisation should contact the Authorisation & Approvals Helpline on 020 7066 3954 or by email to corporate.authorisation@fsa.gov.uk. All queries about whether an activity is a regulated activity and whether a firm needs to be authorised should be sent to the Authorisation Enquiries Department at AuthorisationEnquiries@fsa.gov.uk or by calling 020 7066 0082.

You can download the Application Packs and Guidance notes from the 'Doing business with the FSA' part of our website free of charge or you can order a printed copy from our Publications Helpline on 0845 0608 2372 (at a charge). Please see Chapter 19 of the Guide for further details.

When we grant an application for Part IV permission, we will update the FSA Register with the activities the firm has permission to carry on. You can access the Register from our website and, as it contains publicly available information, you can use it to check whether firms you are dealing with are authorised or appointed representatives.
