Meet Our Founder

David Tanswell

Founder & CEO

I've been immersed in the world of business rates since 2007 - a journey that has been both challenging and rewarding. 

Over the years, I've witnessed industry-shaking changes, from global recessions to the smoking ban, the complexities of Brexit, and the unprecedented challenges brought on by COVID-19.

My mission has always been to guide business owners through turbulent times, ensuring that they are paying fair and accurate business rates or helping them become exempt if possible. It's a commitment to fairness, transparency, and support that I believe in deeply, and it's these principles that form the core of our company's culture.
