Saving you money on your rating liability

We understand that business rates represent a significant cost for your business and that navigating this increasingly complex area can be challenging.

Our team of business rates experts based across the UK make it their business to help occupiers of commercial property, developers and investors to save money on their business rates.

From challenging and reclaiming historical overpayments and assessing your current liability, to helping you to plan for the future, our business rates experts can help.

How long will it take?

The process generally takes 2-3 weeks from receiving the instruction to the money arriving in your account. However, as this is entirely dependent upon the council’s processing time it may take up to 30 days in some areas. Call us on 0207 993 8075 to find out more about our business rates auditing service.

Can your business benefit from a historical rates audit?

Historical rates auditing involves a detailed analysis of rate liabilities over multiple Rating Revaluation periods. Our combined auditing and surveying expertise focuses on the identification of historic rate account anomalies which can lead to the recovery of overpaid rates payments from billing authorities.

What do we require from you?

All you have to do is sign our one-page agreement and Letter of Authority and we will carry out the following on your behalf:

  • Utilising audit software alongside our experience and knowledge of current legislation we complete a comparison between rates payable and rates demands on any rate liabilities dating back to 1995.
  • An analysis of discrepancies in payment and billing errors is used to identify previously unnoticed overpayments and potential savings.
  • We liaise with the billing authority to submit and agree your case, securing you a refund for the amount overpaid.
  • We ensure the money is paid directly from the council into your chosen bank account.
  • We will not invoice you until the refund is confirmed and has reached your account.
  • If we do not achieve a refund, there is nothing to pay us; there are no hidden fees.

As all our work is conducted electronically and over the phone, you will not be required to give up any of your time for on-site visits. Our specialist team will carry out the entire process of achieving and securing a refund on your behalf.

Delivered exactly what they said they would. Great experience.

Marcus contacted me from BRC and said that there were historic saving identified from my rates bill. I was sceptical but I agreed for them to act as my agent. I was very surprised when I received a payment into my account a couple of weeks later by the council . I would certainly contact Marcus and Letaasi at BRC for any future business rates auditing.

The BRC have been a pleasure to work with to date. Marcus and the team clearly explained the potential benefits of completing a business rates investigation and despite my initial scepticism have been able to deliver tangible benefits for a number of our sites. They have been communicative and supportive throughout the process, regularly following up with clear updates and ensured that any refunds due were paid swiftly. I would very much recommend engaging with The BRC.

We were contacted by this company regarding overpayment to Tandridge. They took all the stress out of it and did exactly what they said they were going to do. There rates are very low and they were very professional. If we need to, we would use this company again.

BRC contacted us out of the blue, I was very sceptical on what they where offering, but agreed with Marcus to look into a Historical rates review of our property, which to my surprise he managed to secure a very sizable rebate, which was paid directly to us. There service and support was excellent. What can I say try it you have nothing to loose. Thank you BRC.

this really does work! I was as sceptical as possible, but the guys at the BRC wanted no money up front, had calculated that my firm was due a refund of over £12k and, sure enough, within a month, the refund was made! Very highly recommended and no risk.

A good professional service provided. The rates rebate we were made aware of was applied for and received within a matter of a couple of weeks. I would not hesitate to recommend BRC.

BRC - Business Rates consultancy managed to obtain a refund from our local authority which we were not expecting. This was a substantial refund so we are over the moon. Marcus and his team offer a great service and are very trustworthy - definitely worth a few minutes of your time to potentially receive thousands back in your bank.
