If you’re not sure how our rules and general guidance apply to your circumstances, you can request individual guidance from the FCA.
Find out more[1] about the changes to turnaround times for reviewing and processing listing transactions over the Christmas period 2026/2027.
You may want to check how a rule applies to your particular situation, for example:
- UK Listing Rules (UKLR)
- Prospectus Regulation Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market (PRM)
- Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR)
Depending on the circumstances, you can ask us for oral or written individual guidance.
For full details on individual guidance, read SUP 9 of the FCA Handbook[2].
How to request written guidance
You can ask us for written guidance under SUP 9 through our electronic submission system (ESS)[3].
Select 'Individual guidance from the FCA on PRM, UKLR or DTR'.
We do not accept email submissions for security reasons.
Your request should be in writing. It should:
- Include your own analysis of the question(s) posed
- Identify the issuer to which it relates.
We cannot give written guidance on an anonymous basis.
Listing transactions: Russia and Belarus sanctions
Issuers must confirm to us that they are not affected by Russia and Belarus sanctions.
Find out what confirmations we need about the effect of sanctions before we can begin work on a vetting, guidance or listing application request.
What to expect: after submitting a request
When we receive your request, we’ll contact you to discuss it and set out how we propose to resolve it.
To check the status of your request, contact our member of staff assigned to it or call our general helpline.
