Rowany AML Solutions

What Rowany AML Solutions does

Rowany AML Solutions is an Isle of Man-based regulatory compliance and data protection advisory firm that has operated since 18 October 2019 under founder and Managing Director Francesca Signorio. The firm provides outsourced compliance services — Virtual Compliance Support, mock IOMFSA supervisory visits, AML/CFT risk assessments, sanctions advisory, CEP (Commercially Exposed Persons) compliance, GDPR/data protection, remediation, regulatory query handling, and compliance training/mentoring — almost entirely to Isle of Man regulated entities, trust and corporate service providers (TCSPs), designated businesses, and government bodies. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-led by a senior team that includes a former Deputy Information Commissioner, ex-IOMFSA staff, and a 30-year IoM regulatory veteran.

The business operates a sales-led, founder-driven go-to-market: free no-obligation initial consultations convert into bespoke professional-services engagements, supported by content marketing through the Rowany Perspectives blog, a LinkedIn presence, newsletter, and industry seminars. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based advisory fees, with a single recurring component — the Monthly Rowany Horizon Scanning Service, priced at £50pcm plus VAT with a 10% discount on 12-month subscriptions. The firm holds no external institutional capital and is privately held under the legal entity Rowany AML Solutions Limited.

Operationally the firm is small (1–10 employees) and single-jurisdiction, with headquarters at Rowany House in Port Erin and an additional office at 16 Peel Road, Douglas. The company celebrated its fifth anniversary in October 2024 and continues to expand its advisory product surface around emerging IOMFSA thematic priorities (sanctions, CEPs) while extending into public-sector compliance work.
