The client:
Plum-Mex are luxury kitchen and bathroom designers based in Hampshire and the surrounding areas; taking care of design and installation they offer a full end-to-end solution.
What we did:
We identified that Plum-Mex Limited were overpaying on business rates at their two showrooms during our audit of data provided by Hart District Council. Further analysis of Plum-Mex's operation confirmed our hypothesis that their business rates bills could be disputed.
If we've contacted you, we are confident we can help, even if your business has been unsuccessful in the past.
Plum-Mex were initially hesitant as they had been unsuccessful in attempts to reduce their rates in the past. Once we explained our confidence in our case and that we would only charge in the event we were successful, Plum-Mex were happy to proceed. If we've contacted you, we are confident we can help, even if your business has been unsuccessful in the past.
We constructed a comprehensive case to submit to the local authority, arguing for a lower rate on both of Plum-Mex's properties. This included analysis of financial information from Companies House, Plum-Mex's nature of operation and the properties themselves.
The result:
Within three weeks we had received confirmation that our application was successful. This reduced Plum-Mex's business rates, creating a historic refund and reducing their ongoing liabilities.
What our client had to say:
"Did exactly what they said they were going to and managed to get us a decent refund from the council for business rates!"
