Before you list

Your calendar before you list

Pick the day you plan to list and your financial year end. Filing Guardian shows every deadline the company will face from its first day as a listed issuer, and the day trading could be suspended if one is missed. It covers the Main Market, the Junior Market (Tier 1) and the Micro Market (Junior Market Tier 2). Nothing is stored; this runs in your browser.

The company you are taking to market

Planned listing date

Financial year end

The month your accounting year closes. Deadlines count from the last day of this month. Your accountant will know.

Will you file a fourth-quarter report?

A Q4 report is due within 45 days, like any other quarter. Skipping it brings the audited accounts forward to 60 days after year end, instead of 90. You make this choice after listing; the rule book calls it an election. Not decided yet? The calendar below assumes yes, so print it both ways before anyone plans against a date.

This table is for the people who will file against it. Take it to your accountant and to the adviser taking you to market before you commit to the date; these are the dates they will be working to with you.

Milestones

The fee date and the Sponsor's term

Nothing is submitted on either day, and both dates are fixed by the listing date.

Standing duties

Duties that apply all year, from day one

None of these falls due on a date. Each is listed with the rule it comes from.

Event clocks

Clocks that start on an event

None of these has a date until something happens. When it does, the time allowed is short.

This is the calendar, not the work. In the pilot these dates carry reminders to the people who own them, a plan worked backwards from filing day, and a record of what was sent. The pilot works before you list too: we set everything up from your planned listing date. 60 days free, no card. Request a pilot spot
