Client framework
Before regulated work begins, Britvex may need information about identity, ownership, control, business activity, service scope and relevant risk factors.
AML supervision creates obligations. It is not a commercial endorsement.
The correct phrase is that Britvex is HMRC AML supervised for relevant activity. It does not mean HMRC recommends Britvex, approves individual advice, or endorses a particular client engagement.
The checks are practical, structured and risk based.
The exact information requested depends on the client, the service, the structure and the risk profile. These controls help Britvex decide whether it can act and what evidence is required.
Checking client identity and relevant individuals connected to the engagement.
Understanding who owns or controls the company, structure or business relationship.
Assessing service type, geography, ownership, transactions and activity where relevant.
Updating information when circumstances change or additional services are requested.
Keeping appropriate compliance and engagement records in line with applicable requirements.
Considering escalation and reporting duties where legal reporting obligations arise.
A proper engagement starts before the technical work begins.
Britvex may ask for information and documents before providing accountancy, tax, company-service, payroll, compliance or address-related support. This protects both the client and the practice.

Common questions about Britvex compliance.
Compliance questions are best answered clearly. These answers explain what the framework means in practical terms.
Is Britvex supervised by HMRC for anti-money laundering?
Yes. Britvex is HMRC AML supervised for relevant accountancy and company-service activities. This supervision relates to anti-money-laundering compliance duties.
Does HMRC AML supervision mean HMRC recommends Britvex?
No. AML supervision is not a commercial endorsement, recommendation or approval of individual advice. It means the practice falls within a supervised compliance framework for relevant activity.
Why does Britvex ask for identification documents?
Identity checks help Britvex meet client due-diligence obligations before regulated work begins and during the relationship where updates are needed.
Why ask about the nature of my business or transactions?
The nature of the business, service request, ownership and activity can affect risk assessment and the information Britvex must collect.
Can Britvex decline an engagement after onboarding?
Yes. If required information cannot be provided, the scope is outside Britvex’s services, or risk cannot be accepted, Britvex may be unable to act.
Does compliance stop after I become a client?
No. Information may need to be reviewed or refreshed when circumstances, ownership, services, activity or risk indicators change.
Begin the relationship with clear onboarding and clear responsibilities.
Britvex can explain what information is needed for your service request and how the compliance checks connect to the accounting, tax, payroll, company or address-related support you need.
