Risk & Compliance
FCA-compliant support, regulatory guidance, monitoring and training.
Dedicated regulatory support for growing insurance brokerages
In today’s dynamic and heavily regulated insurance market, maintaining strong risk and compliance standards is essential for any brokerage, whether you’re looking to start an insurance brokerage, expand a directly authorised brokerage, or operate as an appointed representative (AR).
FCA regulatory monitoring and clear updates.
Dedicated advisory support when you need it.
Light‑touch monitoring that protects your independence.
FCA-aligned documentation and templates.
Acturis regulatory reporting.
Continuous training and professional development.
At Jensten Network, we provide a detailed risk and compliance framework designed to help you meet FCA requirements, stay ahead of regulatory changes and operate confidently. Our support gives brokers the structure they need to run a safe, efficient and profitable business without being overwhelmed by compliance demands.
Jensten Network supports both new ventures via Coversure, and established brokers through Jensten Broker Network. Because start‑ups often need more extensive risk and compliance guidance, certain elements described on this page may apply specifically to Coversure franchisees and may not be part of the core Jensten Broker Network package.
You can review the full proposition in our individual brochures or speak with our Network Development team to find out what could be available to you.

Our Risk & Compliance proposition
Staying up to date with ever-evolving regulations is essential for any insurance brokerage. Our specialist team monitors regulatory change on your behalf and ensures you have everything needed to stay compliant.
Our support includes:
- Monitoring regulatory changes, ensuring you’re always aware of relevant updates.
- Impact assessments to help you understand how new rules affect your day-to-day operations.
- Implementing system and process changes so updates are seamless and disruption-free.
- Ready-made documentation and reporting templates for network members to streamline compliance.
- FCA applications and reporting support, including guidance for new permissions, variations and returns.
- Acturis reporting, making regulatory submissions more accurate and efficient.
This ensures brokers within our broker network and insurance franchise models remain fully compliant and prepared.
Regulatory questions can arise at any time, and having access to the right advice is essential.
Our dedicated advisory team offers:
- Clear interpretations of FCA rules
- Guidance on new regulations and operational changes
- Support for risk assessments, policies and frameworks
- Practical advice tailored to your brokerage structure
Whether you’re an AR, directly authorised or an insurance professional launching a new brokerage, our support teams will help you understand your regulatory obligations.
Maintaining compliance shouldn’t mean losing your independence. At Jensten Network, our role is to support, not supervise. You remain in full control of your brokerage, and we only step in when needed or when regulations require it.
How we support you:
- Light‑touch, periodic checks: We carry out scheduled monitoring at appropriate intervals, ensuring you meet FCA requirements without feeling observed or restricted.
- Check-ins, not constant oversight: We don’t sit over your shoulder or involve ourselves in your day-to-day decision-making. You operate as an independent brokerage and our role is simply to help you stay safe and compliant.
- Deep dives only when genuinely needed: If emerging risks or regulatory changes arise, we’ll work with you to assess them. These are collaborative reviews, not inspections.
- Tools that empower self-assessment: You have access to risk assessment resources so you can manage compliance proactively and independently.
This approach ensures that compliance becomes a natural part of your operations without compromising your autonomy. By identifying issues early, we help you build a compliant, efficient and sustainable insurance broking business, supporting long-term growth.
