## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

zero fetch --capability uk-company-fca-register-check-438046f3
```

Example prompt: Can you check if UK company number 09248520 is on the FCA register — I need to know their authorisation status, what permissions they hold, and whether there are any warnings against them before I proceed with this partnership?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need only the FCA regulatory slice of a company check — not the full Companies House profile or composite verdict. Ideal for fintech-vetting workflows where FCA authorisation status and permissions are the primary concern and cost efficiency matters ($0.02 per call). Prefer the full verdict endpoint if you need Companies House status alongside FCA data in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Company number not found in FCA register — returns not-found status rather than an error
- Invalid company number format — returns validation error
- FCA register temporarily unavailable — upstream timeout or error
- Company exists at Companies House but has no FCA entry — returns empty/not-regulated result

## How this service works

Is this UK company regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority? Returns register status, a permissions summary and any warnings - sold separately from the full verdict because fintech-vetting agents often want only this.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the company's FCA register status (authorised, registered, or not found), a summary of permissions the firm holds, and any active warnings or enforcement notices issued by the FCA against the company.
