This document describes how FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) properties are returned in UK company reports, specifically within the additionalInformation property of the API response. The FCA data can be found in two places:

  • As direct properties under miscellaneous
  • As objects within the fcaData array

Location in the API Response

The FCA-related data appears in the following structure:

{
  "additionalInformation": {
    "miscellaneous": {
      "fcaReferenceNumber": "string", // FCA registration number for the company
      "fcaAuthorisationStatus": "string" // Authorisation status (see below for possible values)
      // ...other properties
    },
    "fcaData": [
      {
        "fcaReferenceNumber": "string", // FCA registration number for the company
        "fcaAuthorisationStatus": "string" // Authorisation status (see below for possible values)
      }
      // ...additional FCA records if present
    ]
    // ...other properties
  }
}
