Art AML Compliance

Specialist AML & Due Diligence Consultancy for UK Art Market Participants

Helping Art Market Participants Stay Compliant with UK AML Regulations

With over 10 years in AML and enhanced due diligence across financial services and regulated sectors, I now bring this expertise to the UK art market, helping galleries, dealers, and advisors meet their AML obligations under HMRC supervision.

I deliver tailored, practical, risk-based solutions grounded in regulatory best practice.

If you're an art gallery, dealer, or advisor involved in high-value transactions (over €10,000 (approx. £8700) in a single or multiple transactions to the same customer), you're now subject to the UK's anti-money laundering regulations. As an Art Market Participant (AMP) your business must implement risk-based Customer Due Diligence (CDD), verify source of funds, maintain records, and be ready for HMRC inspections.

If you haven’t yet registered, you’re not alone but, we’re here to help. We provide tailored AML and due diligence support to help you meet your legal obligations under the UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017. From advice, AML policies and risk assessments to client onboarding procedures and staff training, we ensure your compliance framework is robust, proportionate, and regulator-ready.
