Straightforward guidance on AML, onboarding, customer journeys, HMRC expectations, and operational best practices for flexible workspace businesses and TCSPs.
After attending GCUC last week, I came away with plenty of ideas around technology, customer experience and the future of the flexible workspace sector. Over the years, I’ve spoken to many operators who are interested in offering virtual office and business address services, but are put off by the compliance requirements that come with them.…
AML is often like putting together a puzzle.
One piece on its own may not seem suspicious. But when different pieces of information are connected together, the bigger picture becomes clearer.
Good AML is not about guessing. It is about asking sensible questions, spotting inconsistencies, and documenting your reasoning along the way.

Many businesses think AML inspections are about having perfect paperwork. In reality, HMRC is often far more interested in whether businesses can clearly explain and evidence their decision making.
Using the simple “show your workings” school analogy, this guide explores what HMRC really expects to see during an AML inspection, why audit trails matter, and…
Yes, businesses offering services such as virtual offices, registered office addresses, director service addresses, business address facilities, or mail handling may fall under Trust and Company Service Provider (TCSP) regulations and require AML supervision with HMRC.
The exact requirements depend on the services being offered and how the business operates, which is why it is important to review your setup carefully before launching or expanding these services.
AML requirements vary depending on the services provided, but typically include customer due diligence (CDD), identity verification, risk assessments, sanctions screening, and ongoing monitoring. Businesses should also maintain clear AML policies, staff training records, and internal procedures.
A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) is someone who holds a prominent public position, or a family member or close associate of one. PEPs are considered higher risk under AML regulations, meaning businesses must apply enhanced due diligence and additional monitoring when onboarding them.
HMRC AML audits typically review your customer onboarding procedures, AML policies, risk assessments, staff training, record keeping, and ongoing monitoring processes. They may also assess how your business handles higher risk customers, sanctions checks, and suspicious activity reporting.
Yes, many coworking and serviced office operators successfully offer registered office and mail handling services as additional revenue streams. However, these services may bring AML obligations depending on how they are structured, so it is important to have the correct compliance framework in place.
Yes. AML regulations apply regardless of business size if your services fall within regulated activity. Even smaller operators are expected to have appropriate AML policies, procedures, staff training, and customer due diligence processes in place.
