Published on 3 September, HMRC’s new guidance is blunt: “Check if a business is registered for money laundering supervision.” For SMEs and advisers, that creates an immediate check before onboarding a counterparty, paying a supplier, or granting credit. It is a practical prompt to verify status before instructions are accepted or a new trading line is opened.
This public route lets a user check whether a business is registered with HMRC under the money laundering regulations. It also lets them report a firm that appears to be operating without that registration. That matters because HMRC is not only publishing a check, it is also inviting the market to flag firms.
For accountants and other advisers, it fits naturally into client take-on and referral checks. The practical value is timing: users can run the check now, before the first invoice, retainer, or funds transfer.
For exposure work, this is an onboarding signal, not a late-stage distress marker. In RecoupIQ, it helps prioritise manual review before a new customer, supplier, or adviser is given terms or paid. A failed or unclear register check should sit beside adverse filing changes and director-link shifts in the review queue.

That is useful when the decision is about priority, not just compliance. Used early, it helps stop a documentation issue turning into a collections problem later.
If you extend trade credit, add this register check to first-contact screening this week. A clean result does not remove risk, but a mismatch should slow onboarding and trigger stronger evidence requests. That can mean shorter payment terms, more frequent monitoring, or a pause before funds move.
The aim is not to refuse business automatically. It is to decide who needs tighter terms, slower payment release, or a fresh review before exposure grows.
