Sound familiar?
Not sure if your AML procedures actually hold up?
The Money Laundering Regulations catch more businesses than most people expect. Estate agents, accountants, bookkeepers, tax advisers, legal practices, and high-value dealers all fall within scope — and the requirements for policies, risk assessments, and customer due diligence are specific. Many businesses in Lymington have something in place, but whether it would satisfy a supervisory review is another question entirely.
- ✕ AML policy written once and not updated since the regulations changed
- ✕ No documented customer due diligence process for higher-risk clients or transactions
- ✕ Unsure whether your business needs to register with HMRC as its AML supervisor
What compliant looks like
Getting AML compliance right is mostly a matter of knowing what is actually required for your specific business type and putting it in writing. The regulations are prescriptive, but the process is manageable with the right guidance.
- ✓ AML policy and procedures reviewed and updated to current regulations
- ✓ Customer due diligence framework documented and tailored to your client base
- ✓ HMRC supervisory registration confirmed and applied for where required
- ✓ Fixed-fee quote upfront — no surprises as the work progresses

AML compliance support, covered in full
From initial scoping through to ongoing reviews, the work covers everything your business needs to satisfy its obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations.
AML Policy and Risk Assessment
Your business gets a written AML policy and a firm-wide risk assessment tailored to the nature of your clients and transactions. These are the two documents most likely to be requested in a supervisory review, and both need to be specific rather than generic. We draft them to reflect how your business actually operates.
Core complianceCustomer Due Diligence Procedures
The regulations require documented CDD procedures covering identity verification, enhanced due diligence for higher-risk situations, and ongoing monitoring. We set out what your process should look like and put it in writing so your team knows what to do and when. This includes guidance on politically exposed persons and sanctions screening where relevant.
Documented and ready to useHMRC Registration and Ongoing Support
Certain business types must register with HMRC as their AML supervisory authority before they can legally carry out regulated activity. We confirm whether registration applies to your business, handle the application, and provide ongoing support as the regulations are updated. Annual compliance reviews available as part of a fixed retainer.

Why Lymington businesses choose us for AML compliance
There is no shortage of compliance templates online. The question is whether what you have in place would actually satisfy your supervisor — and whether someone with real experience has checked it.
Advice grounded in your business type
AML requirements differ significantly depending on whether you are an accountant, estate agent, bookkeeper, or high-value dealer. Generic policies rarely hold up under scrutiny. We work through the regulations as they apply to your specific activities and produce documentation that reflects your actual risk profile, not a one-size template.
Over 20 years of compliance experience
Founded in 2005, Supreme Consulting has operated under the Money Laundering Regulations for most of its existence. Stuart Green understands what supervisors look for, where common gaps appear, and how to address them efficiently. That experience is applied directly to your business from the first conversation.
Fixed fee, no billing surprises
AML compliance work is scoped and priced upfront. You will know before we start exactly what is included and what it costs. There are no hourly rates running in the background and no additional charges for reasonable follow-up questions. The quote is the quote.
Up and running in four steps
Most businesses can have their core AML framework in place within a few weeks. The process is straightforward and requires very little from you beyond an initial conversation.
Discovery call
We start with a no-obligation call to understand your business activities, your current AML position, and whether you fall within the scope of the regulations. You will leave the call with a clear view of what is required and what is not — which is more than most businesses know going in.
Tailored fixed-fee proposal
You receive a written proposal covering exactly what we will produce, the timeline, and the fixed fee. Nothing in the engagement will cost more than what is in that document unless the scope changes at your request.
We draft and finalise
We draft your AML policy, risk assessment, and CDD procedures. You review a draft, provide any clarifications about how your business works, and we finalise the documentation. Where HMRC registration is required, we handle the application on your behalf.
Compliant and carrying on
With documentation in place and registration confirmed, you can carry on trading with confidence that your AML obligations are met. Ongoing support and annual reviews are available if you want someone to keep an eye on regulatory updates as they come through.

Common questions about AML compliance
How do I know if my business actually needs to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations?
The regulations apply to businesses in specified regulated sectors — these include accountants, bookkeepers, tax advisers, estate agents, legal practices, trust and company service providers, and dealers in high-value goods above certain thresholds. If your business provides any of these services professionally, you almost certainly fall within scope. The first step is confirming which supervisory body covers your sector, whether that is HMRC, the FCA, or a professional body, and what registration you need before you can legally operate.
What does AML compliance support cost, and what is included?
Pricing is fixed and agreed upfront based on your business type and the scope of work required. A standard engagement typically covers a written AML policy, a firm-wide risk assessment, and a documented customer due diligence procedure. Where HMRC supervisory registration is needed, that is included in the scope. Ongoing annual review support is available as a separate fixed retainer. You will have a clear written quote before any work begins.
We already have some AML documentation — can you review what we have?
Yes. Many businesses have something in place from when they first registered or when a template circulated in their industry. The question is usually whether it reflects current regulations and whether it is specific enough to your business to be credible. We can review what you have, identify any gaps against the current requirements, and either update the existing documents or replace them where necessary. The cost of a review is lower than starting from scratch.
Is there a long-term contract if we engage you for ongoing compliance support?
No. Ongoing support is available on a rolling monthly retainer with no minimum term. If your circumstances change or you no longer need the service, you give notice and the arrangement ends. All documentation produced during the engagement belongs to your business and remains in place regardless of whether you continue.
What happens if we receive a request for information from our AML supervisor?
A supervisory visit or information request is much more manageable when your documentation is current and specific to your business. If you receive a request while working with us, we can help you prepare your response and review the documents that will be examined. Most supervisory reviews are routine — they are checking that policies exist, that staff have been trained, and that CDD procedures are being followed. Having everything in writing and up to date is the best preparation.
Does AML compliance overlap with anything else in our accounting or tax work?
In some cases, yes. For businesses that handle property transactions, trust structures, or significant cash flows, the same risk assessment exercise that informs your AML policy can also flag areas relevant to tax planning and HMRC reporting. Where those overlaps exist, we will flag them rather than treating AML compliance as an isolated exercise. It is also worth noting that for accountancy firms specifically, HMRC acts as supervisor and can review AML compliance alongside routine tax compliance checks.
