The cost of listing your financial firm on a UK directory ranges from nothing to over £3,000 per month depending on the platform, tier, and — critically — whether enquiry fees are charged on top of the monthly subscription. Understanding what you are actually paying for is essential before committing to any directory.
Here is a transparent breakdown of the main options available to UK financial firms in 2026.
Free listing options
Several UK directories offer free baseline listings. The Kaeltripton Financial Index automatically indexes over 118,000 UK financial firms from Companies House — no action required. AdviserBook offers a free listing for FCA-regulated advisers. The FCA register itself is publicly searchable but is a regulatory record, not a marketing directory.
Free listings are valuable for citation purposes — they tell Google your firm exists at a specific address with a specific FCA number — but they rarely generate direct enquiries on their own.
The Kaeltripton Financial Index — transparent pricing
The Kaeltripton Financial Index publishes its pricing openly. Standard listings are free and auto-generated from Companies House. Enhanced listings — which add your logo, 200-word description, services, social media links (Facebook, YouTube, X, LinkedIn), and direct enquiry routing — are £99/month with no contract and no per-enquiry fees. Priority listings are £249/month and include top search placement and a 500-word description.
The key differentiator: enquiries go directly to your inbox at no additional cost. There is no per-enquiry charge layered on top of the subscription.

Some UK financial directories operate a model where a monthly subscription grants access to the platform, and then enquiries are charged additionally when you choose to accept them. This model makes the headline subscription price appear competitive but the true monthly cost depends on enquiry volume and acceptance rate.
Under this model, a firm receiving and accepting 10 enquiries per month at £50 each pays £500 in enquiry fees on top of their subscription. Always ask the total expected monthly cost including enquiry fees before signing up to any directory that uses this pricing model.
What the listing fee actually buys you
Beyond the direct enquiries a listing may generate, it provides: a verified citation that improves your Google local rankings, a professional profile that converts referrals who research you online, social media links that give your digital presence a single verified hub, and FCA and Companies House verification that builds consumer trust. These indirect benefits compound over time and are separate from any direct enquiries the listing generates.
