UK compliance group · est. 2026

One engine. A family of compliance platforms.

Friam builds focused regulatory products for one UK industry at a time — but every one of them runs on the same proven engine: ingest the public registers, scan the real world, generate the documents, train the people, and publish a trust mark a customer can click. Build the engine once; point it at the next regulated sector.

The data universe

A proprietary map of who must comply.

The hard part of compliance software isn't the app — it's knowing every business that's in scope before they've ever heard of you. We've built that. A continuously-refreshed UK compliance-data universe, resolved from public registers and the businesses' own websites, that lets us reach a whole sector on day one.

460,000+
UK business records ingested & identity-resolved from 11 public registers
31,000+
Estate & letting agents matched to live websites and continuously scanned
22,000+
Automated compliance scans run against real public-facing evidence
4,800+
UK veterinary practices mapped for the VetGuard rollout

Sources include the HMRC AML supervised-business register, the property redress schemes (TPO, PRS), Propertymark, Safeagent, the Guild, the ICO register, Companies House, the Scottish Letting Register and UKALA — reconciled into one canonical record per business, then enriched from each firm's own public site. The same playbook now points at hospitality, community premises and employers.

The shared engine

Why a new vertical is weeks, not years.

Every Friam product is the same six-stage pipeline with a different regulator's rulebook plugged in. The engine is built, in production, and proven across two live products. Each new "Guard" is a thin, branded front-end over it.

01

Ingest

Mirror the public registers; resolve them into one record per business.

02

Scan

Read each firm's public site and check whether the required disclosures are there.

03

Assess

A scope-aware engine decides which duties actually apply to this firm.

04

Generate

Produce the tailored policies, risk assessments and documents, e-signed.

05

Train

Short, quiz-checked modules with completion tracking and certificates.

06

Assure

Publish a public, embeddable trust mark — and re-verify it monthly.

The moat is the data plus the engine. Outreach, billing, multi-tenancy, AI scanning, document generation, identity verification and training are all built once and shared. Adding HallGuard or GymGuard is a configuration of the regulator's rules and a coat of paint — not a new company.

The family

Our products

One platform per industry, built against the actual regulator — not a watered-down checklist. Two live, one launching, five in build.

A

AgentGuard

Estate & letting agents

Our most complete product. Continuous AML-compliance scanning against HMRC supervision, redress (TPO/PRS), client-money protection and the consumer-protection rules — plus a full customer due-diligence suite: sanctions & PEP screening, a server-side biometric identity-verification flow, a 12-module AML training pathway, auto-generated policies, and a public Trust page. The whole engine, proven.

V

VetGuard

Veterinary practices

The 2026 CMA pricing-transparency rules, a complaints route with VCMS escalation, ownership disclosure and the RCVS prescription notice — delivered as a finished, hosted practice website we build from public data and the practice simply claims. A "done-for-you compliant website" wedge into 4,800+ UK practices.

H

HotelGuard

Hotels & serviced accommodation

Fire safety, water-systems (L8), food hygiene, allergens, accessibility and guest-data GDPR — plus an HR layer and a mystery-call revenue audit. Marketing site, prospect database, scanner, document generator and training are built; in launch.

H

HallGuard

Village & community halls

Martyn's Law (the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) catches any venue that holds 200+ people at once — which most halls do at a fête or a wedding. A free self-assessment, the public-protection procedures pack, fire risk assessment and a hirer's agreement, written for volunteer committees with no compliance staff.

C

ChurchGuard

Churches & places of worship

The same Martyn's Law duty, for the venues it was most fought over — carol services and festivals routinely cross 200. Free self-assessment and procedures pack, weighted toward the safeguarding documents that sit at the heart of faith-venue compliance. Multi-faith from day one.

H

HireGuard

Hiring & HR for UK employers

For employers who hire people. Applicant tracking with video screening, right-to-work and onboarding records, AI-generated contracts and policies, the Employment Rights Act 2025 guaranteed-hours engine, an incident logbook that evidences harassment-prevention "reasonable steps", and staff training — for SMEs with no in-house HR.

G

GymGuard

Gyms & leisure operators

The HR engine pointed at a sector built on casual, shift and member-facing staff. Guaranteed-hours tracking that flags who's owed a contract offer, a dictate-it-at-the-desk incident logbook for the Worker Protection Act 2023 harassment duty, and short awareness training — for independent gyms and studios.

C

CafeGuard

Cafés, restaurants & takeaways

Food Hygiene Rating readiness, Natasha's Law allergen disclosure, HACCP records, licensing and EHO inspection prep — for independent operators who'd rather not employ a compliance manager just for paperwork.

The regulatory weather is turning our way.

A wave of new UK duties

Martyn's Law (2025) pulls hundreds of thousands of venues into scope. The Employment Rights Act 2025 rewrites zero-hours working. The Worker Protection Act 2023 makes harassment prevention a proactive duty. AML supervision, CMA pricing rules and consumer-protection law keep tightening. Every new rule is a vertical.

The people in scope have no compliance team

A letting agent, a village-hall committee, an independent gym — none of them have a compliance department. They are anxious, under-resourced, and exactly the customer a simple, finished, affordable tool is built for.

Public-facing, by design

Every product ends in a trust mark a consumer can click. Compliance you can't show is compliance you can't sell — and showable trust is what every one of these regulators was trying to protect.

One company, compounding

Two live products fund the engine that makes the third cheap. The data universe built for one sector seeds the next. The cost of the eighth vertical is a fraction of the first.

Progress
