If you’re a fast-growing fintech or startup, you’ve probably felt the pain of compliance.

The last-minute scramble to meet FCA deadlines. The policy black holes. The "what even is an AML risk assessment?" panic. The tension between compliance and commercial teams. And the growing pressure from investors and enterprise partners to get your house in order.

We get it — and we’re here to help.

At The House of Compliance, we’re startup compliance experts who’ve built compliance teams inside high-growth fintechs like Google, Amazon, Curve, Clearpay, and more. We know what it takes to build a compliance function that protects your business and helps you grow, not just check boxes.

Why Compliance Matters for Startups

In today’s market, compliance isn’t optional. It's directly tied to your ability to:

✅ Raise funds – Investors expect clear risk frameworks
✅ Land enterprise partnerships – Partners demand strong due diligence responses
✅ Scale safely – Without compliance bottlenecks slowing down product, sales, or onboarding

But most early-stage startups don’t have the time, budget, or in-house expertise to get it right from day one.

That’s where we come in.

What We Do: Full-Service Startup Compliance, from Authorisation to Scale

We provide practical, scalable compliance services tailored to startups and fintechs — whether you’re pre-launch, pre-Series A, or prepping for enterprise partnerships.

Here’s what we help with:

✅ End-to-End FCA Applications

From business plans and financials to policies and SMF interviews — we handle the entire authorisation journey so you don’t have to. Get your licence without the stress.

✅ Fractional Compliance Leadership

No in-house head of compliance yet? We step in part-time to build your strategy, manage risk, and keep things moving — without the full-time cost.

✅ Fundraise-Ready Reviews

We’ll get your compliance house in order before investor due diligence hits. Turn compliance into a trust signal, not a red flag.

✅ Launch & Scale Packages

From zero to launch: policies, frameworks, RegTech recommendations, training, onboarding flows — all customised for early-stage fintechs.

✅ Compliance as a Sales Enabler

We train GTM teams to work with compliance, not around it. The result? Faster onboarding, smarter risk decisions, and fewer lost deals.

Why The House of Compliance?

We're not traditional consultants. We’re former startup operators and compliance leads who’ve built compliance from the ground up — in the middle of product launches, fundraising rounds, and market expansions.

We know what startup life is like. We move fast, stay lean, and speak your language.

And we don’t just give you templates. We give you clarity, momentum, and confidence.
