The final deadline for DNFBP Risk Assessment submission is 31 January 2026, and with only 11 days remaining, many Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) are rushing to understand their obligations and avoid regulatory consequences.

This article explains what the DNFBP Risk Assessment is, who must comply, what information is required, and how to ensure accurate submission before the deadline.

What Is DNFBP Risk Assessment and Data Collection?

The data collected must reflect the actual risk profile and operations of your business.

The requirement applies to Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions, including but not limited to:

  • Real estate brokers and developers
  • Dealers in precious metals and precious stones
  • Company formation and corporate service providers
