August was a month of celebrations at HB...

We celebrated Gabi and Marshall, who both had their birthdays, and Ruby, who completed 3 years with us!

Congratulations, Ruby, on your work anniversary, and happy birthday once again to Gabi and Marshall. Thank you all for everything you do 💙💛

We recently received another certificate recognising our donations towards the planting of 700 native trees between February 2023 and July 2026! These contributions help restore tropical forests through conservation projects in Armenia, Brazil, India and Tanzania.

A huge thank you to World Land Trust and its conservation partners for the incredible work they do to protect and restore vital habitats around the world!

We completed an audit of Headcorn Gifts & Music Ltd, a popular independent retailer offering gifts and repair services. Our research into Maidstone Borough Council data identified a potential opportunity to reduce their business rates.

We were able to confirm the opportunity, present our findings to the owner and begin discussions with the local authority.

Just six weeks later, our application was approved, resulting in a refund of approximately £4,700 and a substantial reduction. In fact, Headcorn Gifts & Music's monthly bills were reduced by 60%, providing meaningful savings moving forward.

Like many business owners, the client was initially sceptical, but our no win, no fee approach gave them the confidence to explore the opportunity 👏

Entyce Creative, a brand-led marketing agency based in Cheshire, came onto our radar after our analysis identified a potential issue with the way their office was being assessed for business rates. Specifically, the property was being valued as two separate assessments, and our research suggested that combining them could unlock additional relief.

Before approaching the client, we carried out detailed research to ensure the property met the requirements for a revaluation and calculated the outcome. Once we had confirmed the opportunity, Ruby got in touch to explain our findings and guide Entyce through the process.

We were able to submit the application quickly and The Valuation Office agreed with both our application and proposed rateable value. We then worked with the local authority to ensure the relief was applied correctly.

The result was a significant refund for Entyce, reduced business rates moving forward, and even the opportunity to support their sister company, Well What Then? Limited 🤝

Established in 1983, Lapel Menswear has been serving customers from its Southport store for over 40 years. When they heard about the successful outcome we secured for Diamonds Direct Wholesalers, they got in touch to see if we could help them too.

Although Lapel was already receiving Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief, our review identified historic support that had been missed. After discussing the opportunity with the client and explaining our findings, we were given the go-ahead to pursue a claim.

Just one week after submitting the application, the claim was approved and a refund was issued directly to the business!

It's a great reminder that even if a business is already receiving relief, or has previously occupied a property, there may still be historic opportunities waiting to be uncovered.

Sometimes the biggest challenge isn't finding an opportunity...it's overcoming the scepticism that comes with it.

When we approached Wi******er Coffee Roasters, a family-run business with two cafés on the south coast, they understandably had reservations. Like many businesses, they'd received plenty of messages promising savings on their business rates.

After identifying a potential reduction opportunity through our audit process and carrying out further research, we explained our findings and how our no win, no fee approach works. Once instructed, we submitted an application to the local authority and managed the process from start to finish.

The result was a refund of £9,850 and significantly reduced rates going forward! A successful outcome for a growing independent business ☕️

Our data analysis identified an opportunity to help with Diamonds Direct Wholesalers' business rates. After carrying out further research into both the property and business, we approached the client with our findings and managed the process from start to finish.

As we complete all the background research and groundwork prior to being instructed, we were able to submit the application quickly, with the council agreeing to the claim shortly afterwards...

They received a £4,500 refund and reduced business rates moving forward.

The client was so pleased with the outcome that they've since referred several other businesses to us!

Another successful business rates review and another client benefiting from savings!

Ignition Sports Media, a market leader in sports programme design and printing, produces over 3.7 million programmes across 1,468 matches every year.

After auditing council data, we identified an opportunity to reduce their business rates liability.

When the initial credit issued didn't match our calculations, we challenged the figures and worked with the council to ensure the correct outcome was achieved 👏

We’re officially halfway through 2026… and the results speak for themselves!

So far this year, we’ve helped 109 clients save a combined £1.4 million 🙌

Our largest case this year was Orchard Fencing, where we secured a saving of £190k, a significant financial difference for the business.

A huge thank you to all of our clients and HB team 💙
