How Can We Help You?

We carry out extensive checks to help identify potential reductions, from doing background research on the property before our site visits, to creating a detailed report to submit to the VOA, to negotiating with them about any potential reductions, and liasing with your local council for various tasks. We do it all! Rest assured, we take the stress of dealing with the burden of business rates off your shoulders so you can focus on running the company. We make business rates simple 


Our step by step process:

01.

Pre-inspection

First we carry out a background check on the premises and look at the current valuation breakdown from the government

02.

Site Inspection Analysis

Then we visit the premises and do a site analysis to identify if there is a difference between the current breakdown and what is actually there/ to see if there have been changes

03.

Identify Potential Savings

We crunch through the numbers to see how much we can save your business and if we cannot, then you would be notified, or given advice

04.

Finalise and Sign Docs

Upon the basis you want to proceed, we finalise terms and sign the contracts and necessary documents needed to carry on the process

05.

Case Submission

Your case is then prepared and submitted to the Valuation Office Agency

06.

Await Contact

We wait and if the VOA need further information we will be in touch

07.

Decision On The Case

A decision is then given for stage 1 of the Check and Challenge Appeal, where we then proceed to stage 2 if needs be – or we negotiate and/or accept the new valuation

08.

Refund Is Received

Once all the databases have been updated and the local council receives the schedule of works, we may apply for a refund on any previous money paid/ or credit is given against the new bill
