For founders

Compliance, for the person who ended up holding it

Meet Fenchurch One, built for the founder, director or office manager wearing the compliance hat at an FCA-regulated firm. It sets out what needs doing in plain English, keeps the evidence as you go, and shows you exactly where you stand.

The job that came with the firm

Running the firm is your job. Compliance arrived with it.

If your firm is FCA-regulated, the obligations are real: registers to keep, people to assess, policies to review, deadlines to hit. That work usually lands on a director or manager who already has a full-time job — and no compliance training.

Fenchurch One is built for exactly that person. Everything the regulator expects you to evidence — nothing you don't need. No jargon to decode first, and no blank pages to stare at.

Annual Confirmations that explain themselvesEach one sets out what needs to be done and why, in plain English — it teaches as it records.
Ready-made registersBreaches, complaints, conflicts, gifts and more — ready the moment something happens.
Unlimited people recordsEvery member of staff, on every plan — the price never moves with headcount.
Deadlines that chase youA Control Centre of everything due, plus email reminders of what's due and what's overdue.

Start without a compliance background

Guided from the first sign-in

Sign in with an email code — no passwords — and Set up your firm asks for one thing: your firm reference number. Your firm's details and permissions are read from the FCA's Financial Services Register; you tick what is correct and the firm is set up. After that, plain-English tutorials sit on every screen, so the help is part of the product, not a call you have to schedule.

The guides drawer open beside a Fenchurch One page — short, plain-English guides to that screen — Tutorials

Record the evidence

Only what your firm actually needs

Everything the regulator expects you to evidence — nothing you don't need. The Annual Confirmations set out what has to be done and why; the registers are ready for the moment something happens; and every entry is dated, owned and kept as your audit trail.

Annual Confirmations — Consumer Duty, Data Protection, Financial Crime and General FCA Compliance, with each entry's status, rating and approval — Annual Confirmations

Records — the firm's registers, each with its status, number of entries and open items — Records

The Complaints register open in Records, listing its entries — Registers

See where you stand

Every deadline in one place

The Control Centre pulls every date you record into one place: what is overdue, what is due in the next seven days and what is waiting on your approval, charted by how late or how soon, with every item listed underneath. Email reminders mean deadlines chase you, not the other way round.

The Control Centre — overdue, next seven days and waiting-on-you counts, two charts and the list of scheduled items — Control Centre

Prove it

The AI Executive Summary — on every plan

When you are asked how the firm is doing — by your fellow directors, your auditor or the regulator — the AI Executive Summary gives you the answer in writing, on one page: where you stand, the risks that matter, and what your directors should do next. It only ever draws on your own records: nothing invented, nothing generic, with the gaps called out honestly. If it isn't evidenced in the platform, it isn't in the report. Growth adds the full eight-section Compliance Report.
