Who do you typically work with?

We work with a broad range of regulated businesses, including asset managers, investment funds, private equity firms, family offices, and international companies with compliance or governance obligations in the Netherlands. Whether you are an established firm looking to strengthen your compliance framework or a newly incorporated entity building your processes from the ground up, we can tailor our services to your needs.

What is the difference between KYC and AML compliance?

Know Your Customer (KYC) refers to the process of verifying the identity of your clients or investors and assessing the risks associated with the relationship. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) is the broader regulatory framework designed to prevent financial crime, of which KYC is a key component. Regulated firms are required to have both KYC procedures and an overarching AML framework in place. We assist with both, ensuring your processes meet jurisdictional requirements and industry best practices.

Do you work with businesses outside the Netherlands?

Yes. While we are based in Amsterdam, we work with clients across Europe and internationally. Many of our clients are foreign businesses or entrepreneurs with Dutch corporate structures or regulatory obligations in the Netherlands. We are experienced in advising on cross-border compliance matters and can conduct consultations remotely by phone or video call.
