The journey

The whole thing, in four steps

Each step below is a stage of running compliance in Fenchurch One. Click a step to jump straight to it.

Step 1

Pick a plan & sign in

Start a fourteen-day free trial and sign in with an email code — no passwords.

Step 2

Record the evidence

Attestations, registers, policies and people records, completed in plain English.

Step 3

See where you stand

One dashboard, one calendar, and reminders that chase the deadlines for you.

Step 4

Prove it

AI reports, a dated proof pack and read-only Live Links, built from your own records.

Step one

Pick a plan and sign in

Choose Starter, Growth or Pro on the pricing page — every plan starts with a fourteen-day free trial, and billing is month-to-month after that. There's nothing to install and no sales call to sit through.

Signing in is passwordless: enter your email address, we send you a code, and you're in. From the first login, the getting-started wizard walks you through building your first board — the workspace that will hold your firm's records.

  • Passwordless sign-inA code to your email each time. No passwords to remember — or to leak.
  • Fourteen days freeCard required, month-to-month after that. Cancel from the billing portal and pay nothing.
  • A wizard, not a manualThe getting-started wizard is tailored to your plan and builds your first board step by step.
  • Help on every screenPlain-English tutorials sit one click away, wherever you are in the platform.

Step two

Record the evidence

Compliance, at its core, is being able to show what you did and when. Fenchurch One gives you a ready-made place for each kind of record, so the evidence builds up as a by-product of running the firm — not as a separate job.

Attestations ask plain-English questions and set out why each one matters. Registers are ready the moment something happens. Policies keep their full version history. And every member of staff gets their own compliance record — unlimited on every plan.

  • AttestationsWork through the questions, attach the evidence and sign off — dated and kept as your audit trail.
  • RegistersBreaches, complaints, conflicts, gifts and more — add an entry the moment something happens.
  • PoliciesUpload your policies once; every new version is kept, with an owner and a review date.
  • PeopleA record per person — fit-and-proper checks, responsibilities and conduct rules — unlimited on every plan.

Step three

See where you stand

You shouldn't need to open six records to know whether the firm is on track. As your records build, the dashboard works the position out for you — and only the areas you've actually recorded entries in appear, so there's no wall of red for things that don't apply to your firm.

The calendar pulls every due-dated item across your boards into one view, and reminders arrive before the deadlines do.

  • DashboardThe compliance position at a glance, worked out from your own records — no spreadsheet-building first.
  • Compliance calendarEvery review, return and renewal across all your boards, on one calendar.
  • RemindersIn-app notifications and a weekly email digest of what's due and what's overdue.

Step four

Prove it

Sooner or later somebody asks to see the position — your board of directors, an auditor, the FCA. This is the step everything else has been building towards, and it takes minutes rather than a weekend.

The AI reports only ever draw on your own records — nothing invented, nothing generic. If it isn't evidenced in the platform, it isn't in the report. You can run one complete report of each type per board every seven days.

  • Three AI report typesThe Executive Summary on every plan, the full AI Compliance Report on Growth and above, and the FCA Dry Run — a 14-question mock supervisory interview — on Pro.
  • The proof packA dated, referenced export of your compliance position, ready to hand to an auditor or the regulator.
  • Live LinkA read-only view you can share without creating logins — optional passcode, expiry and watermark, revoke it at any time. It shares summaries, never your raw records.

Questions

Before you start

The things people usually want to know about getting going.

How long does setup take?

There's no implementation project. Pick a plan, sign in with an email code, and the getting-started wizard builds your first board the same day. From there, most of the "setup" is simply starting to record — the platform is ready before you are.

Do I need a compliance background to use it?

No. Fenchurch One is built for the founder, director or office manager who ended up holding compliance. The attestations set out what needs to be done and why, the getting-started wizard builds your first board step by step, and plain-English tutorials sit on every screen.

What happens after the fourteen days?

Billing starts on the plan you chose, month-to-month. You can change plan or cancel from the billing portal at any time — cancel during the trial and you pay nothing.

We already have policies and spreadsheets — can we bring them across?

Yes. Upload your existing policies on any plan — each one keeps its version history from there — and start adding register entries as things happen. On Growth and Pro you can also draw on the ready-made template library where your own documents have gaps.

Can my team use it too?

Yes. People records are unlimited on every plan, and access is granted per person, per board — nobody sees more than they should. Standard members of the People area see only their own record; super users see the whole picture.

Start at step one.

Fourteen days free, card required, month-to-month after that. If it isn't right for your firm, cancel from the billing portal and pay nothing.
