Reduce Business Rates on Your Industrial Property
If your industrial unit has undergone structural change, automation, partial closure or reconfiguration, you may be paying more than you should.
Why Industrial Properties Are Overassessed
Incorrect Floor Area Measurements
Industrial properties are often assessed using outdated or inaccurate measurements, leading to inflated rateable values.
Mezzanines Assessed Incorrectly
Mezzanine floors can significantly impact valuation and are frequently misclassified or incorrectly measured.
Structural Alterations Not Reflected
Major internal changes such as reconfiguration, removal of structures or layout changes may not be captured in the VOA’s assessment.
Partial Occupation Ignored
Where only part of a property is in use, the potential for Section 44a relief is often overlooked.
Automation Impact Misunderstood
The installation of robotics or automation systems can change how space is used, but this is rarely reviewed for rates purposes.
Historic Assessments Left Unchanged
Many industrial properties continue to be charged based on historic assessments that no longer reflect operational reality.

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.
