For small firms

Compliance, for the person who ended up holding it

Fenchurch One is built for the founder, director or office manager wearing the compliance hat at a small 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. At a small firm that work usually lands on someone 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.

Attestations 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 compliance calendar plus email reminders of what's due and what's overdue.

Record the evidence

Only what your firm actually needs

Everything the regulator expects you to evidence — nothing you don't need. The attestations 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.

Attestations board — reviews, sign-offs and assessments logged as evidence with owners and dates — Attestations

Compliance registers — breaches, complaints, whistleblowing and data-subject requests — Registers

Forms library — ready-made FCA attestation and register forms to add to your board — Forms library

See where you stand

A dashboard that doesn't nag

The dashboard only shows the areas where you've recorded something, so the picture builds as your record does — no wall of red for things that don't apply to your firm. The calendar pulls every due date into one view, and email reminders mean deadlines chase you, not the other way round.

Prove it

The AI Executive Summary — on every plan

When someone asks how the firm is doing — your board, your auditor, the regulator — the AI Executive Summary gives you the answer in writing, on one page: where you stand, the risks that matter, and what the board 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.

What it costs

What a retainer actually bills you for

Most small firms weighing this up are comparing Fenchurch One with a monthly retainer. Much of that retainer pays for the routine layer — records, registers, chasing. That's the layer Fenchurch One does every day, from £150 a month. Here's the honest comparison.

A compliance consultant retainer

£400–£1,500 / month, typically

Expert advice and judgement when you need it
Priced for their time, not your firm's size

And if you already work with a consultant, keep them — they'll get a tidier set of records to review. Plans run Starter £150, Growth £250 and Pro £375 a month — a limited time offer; the full comparison is on the pricing page.
