WHAT WE DO

Business Rate Relief Experts

Business Rates represents a significant overhead for any commercial occupier and can affect profitability. As a property tax that is based on market rental value, you must have an advisor in place to help ensure that you are not overpaying.

The economic environment is constantly changing with an evolving business rates system, but it is important to review all opportunities to mitigate liability and adopt a strategy appropriate to the situation to maximise savings. This can involve appeals against the ‘Rateable Value’ and/or challenges to the rate bills calculations.

Whether your property is vacant, undergoing works or at full capacity, we can look at your business rates relief.
