Submit a financial promotion for approval

You can submit a communication for approval using the form on the link below. Before you submit your item for approval please ensure you have completed the following steps. If you have any doubts, please refer to the guidance here first before submitting your communication for approval.

Note: for digital communications that will be reused, such as email copy, it is permissible to use placeholders for elements in your communications that will change - such as amount raised, or number of investors. You will not need to seek fresh approval when you need to change these numbers as the raise progresses.

The same applies for the interest rate. It is permissible to submit comms items for approval before the rate is confirmed using a placeholder, and insert the correct rate when confirmed
