Contents of the register
Each entry contains the details supplied by the business when they registered with HMRC. The list provides information to help you decide whether you are dealing with a business who is registered with us. It lists the:

- trading name
- first part of the postcode
- date the business became supervised
- sectors they’re registered for
Only businesses registered for supervision by HMRC will appear. The name a business is registered under may be different from the name you’re familiar with if, for example, they’re included under the registration of another business.
Confirmation that a business is registered with us is not an endorsement by HMRC for you to enter into any commercial transactions with the business.
It’s important that businesses involved in activity, supervised by HMRC under the Money Laundering Regulations, register to receive guidance on:

If you suspect a business is not registered but should be you can contact us using the Fraud Hotline Information Report.
