Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Update for Interior Designers

19th November 2025

A growing number of interior designers are discovering that they fall under the definition of ‘Art Market Participants’ and are therefore subject to the UK’s Money Laundering Regulations. As awareness rises, so does concern, particularly around compliance and the risk of receiving penalties from HMRC. Book today to receive practical guidance and avoid falling foul of the updated legislation.
