Add the Annual Confirmations, registers and policy templates each AR needs, from your side.
Network — for principal firms
Network is the Fenchurch One tier for principal firms supervising Appointed Representatives. Every AR gets its own record and its own portal, so what they complete and what you approve is kept as you go — not chased up after the fact.
Not supervising any Appointed Representatives? See Starter, Growth and Pro
What it covers
A principal firm holds FCA authorisation and appoints other firms (its Appointed Representatives) to operate under that permission, giving them a faster route to market than seeking their own. Supervising them properly is a regulatory duty, not a choice. Fenchurch tracks and evidences what you do — it doesn't do the oversight for you. Network gives you the record, the portal and the roll-up to run it properly.
The AR portal
Each AR gets its own login and sees only its own firm. You choose what appears there.
Add the Annual Confirmations, registers and policy templates each AR needs, from your side.
Each AR signs into its own space and works through what's outstanding. Nothing else is visible to them.
Every submission is kept against that AR's record, dated, and rolled into your network-wide view.
SUP 12 Self-Assessment
SUP 12.6A.6R asks every principal firm for a written self-assessment of how it complies with SUP 12, naming any material deficiencies and the steps agreed to fix them, reviewed and approved by its directors at least once every 12 months. Network gives you that document as a form in seven parts. Your AR oversight records fill much of it as you go, the agreed steps are chased until they are closed, and every approved version is kept for six years.
Inside Network
Network is not a switch that unlocks a couple of extra fields. It adds AR Oversight, the SUP 12 Self-Assessment and a report across your network, gives every AR's record a SUP 12 side for your oversight, and lets every page show one AR, several or all of them. Only principals see it. Here is what it adds.
Every appointed representative and tied agent in one table, with a status for each oversight area: monitoring, supervisory meetings, file sampling, annual review, material changes, financial monitoring and Annual Confirmations. Click a row to open that AR's record.
Your annual self-assessment under SUP 12.6A.6R, filled from your oversight records, chased until its steps are closed and approved by your directors. How it works
Twelve sections covering the whole network, cited against SUP 12. Tick which ARs it covers and whether to include your own firm, and the coverage is saved with the report so it always says what it looked at.
Choose one AR, several or all of them, and the page follows: the Control Centre, registers, Annual Confirmations, people and customers. Built for a network with dozens of firms in it.
When an AR goes onto heightened supervision: what changed, who owns it, by when, and how it was resolved or escalated.
Audits, meetings and visits: what you covered, what you found, how you rated it, who owns the follow-up and when the next one is due.
Financial promotions, customer outcome files, complaints handling, and training and competence, reviewed and recorded.
Pass, fail or edit on every file you sample, with the root cause and the remediation followed through to closure.
The formal yearly review of each AR, and the decision on whether the appointment continues.
What each AR tells you has changed, and whether that change needs notifying to the FCA.
Letters, emails, supervisory calls and skilled person engagements, kept against the AR they concern, with your response beside them.
Revenue, profit, capital adequacy and solvency for each AR, period by period, with a flag when something needs looking at. Evidence the firm is still viable to hold its appointment.
When an appointment ends: the decision, when it took effect, the reason, whether the FCA was told and on time, and the checks on customers, signed off.
Everything overdue, due in the next seven days or waiting on your approval, across your own firm and every AR, with the firm that needs most attention named first. One weekly email per person, not one per firm.
What every AR has confirmed, in one table with each one's rating, approval and how much is answered. Filter by firm and click straight through to the confirmation itself.
Complaints, breaches, conflicts and the rest, with how many entries each register holds and how many are open, for one AR, several or all of them.
Each AR's policies sit on its own record, with owner, version and review dates, and a review that has passed shows in red.
Every AR's regulated people: fitness and propriety and when it is next due, responsibilities, conduct, their due diligence, and who holds a login.
Customer files and counterparties at every AR: each customer's new business, complaints and due diligence, with its risk rating and when it is next due.
You record your own firm's permissions once. On an AR's record they become a list to tick from, and nothing else. Remove one from your own and any AR still naming it is flagged in red.
Upload your own policy templates once, in Settings, and choose which ARs receive them. Each AR finds them under Principal Templates on its Policies tab, and a new version reaches every AR already assigned.
A tab of your own firm's record: who leads if the FCA appoints a Skilled Person or a case reaches the Ombudsman, who to contact, and when you last rehearsed producing documents at short notice.
Tick the firms you want and get one dated document covering all of them, ready to hand to your directors or an auditor.
One download covering every firm you tick, plus your own oversight records about them, without going into each AR in turn.
A single read-only address covering every firm you tick, so a reviewer gets one link rather than one per firm. Passcode and expiry optional, and you can revoke it.

Click an AR and switch its record to the SUP 12 side: termination, Annual Confirmations, intensified monitoring, supervisory meetings, second line reviews, customer file sampling, annual review, material changes, FCA correspondence and financial monitoring, all kept against that AR.
Your annual SUP 12 self-assessment: its status, when it was last approved and when the next approval falls, the open and overdue steps, and a reminder on the day you choose each year.
Part 2 of the self-assessment: how your firm complies with SUP 12, area by area, answered Met, Partial, Not Met or N/A, with how you comply and the evidence you hold.
The four Annual Confirmations, Consumer Duty, Data Protection, Financial Crime and General FCA Compliance, with every firm's entries, each one's rating, approval and how much is answered.

One report across the network for your directors, in twelve sections cited against SUP 12. Tick the ARs it covers, and include your own firm if you choose.
One click builds a branded, dated evidence pack: your position, your open items and the records behind them, for one firm or every firm you tick, ready for your directors, your auditor or an FCA request.
