Clive Owen grants advisory

Fusion Joinery are a bespoke joinery solutions business based in the North East of England, manufacturing a range of made-to-order timber products for commercial, residential and domestic projects. We have grown strongly in recent years, but have relied upon external equipment hire to deliver larger projects. We have the opportunity to secure further large contract work, however in order to be more competitive we identified the need to own our own crane. Whilst we were able to source a suitable crane, the investment required was significant and we needed some financial support.
The grants advisory team at Clive Owen supported us in securing a substantial grant from the Business Growth Fund capital grant scheme. The Clive Owen team took the bid writing process off our hands and delivered a very quick turnaround, allowing us to access the funding just before the scheme closed. We have now been able to acquire the crane and have pressed on with our growth plans which include new contracts and new employment.
I strongly suggest that businesses seeking grant support consider utilising the expertise of Carl Wright and his team at Clive Owen LLP.

Clive Owen LLP supported me with my self-assessment tax return.

I was changing jobs at the time and for the first few months in my new role, I was unfortunately taxed at the wrong level. It got quite complicated and HMRC were giving me different codes weekly at one point!

I dealt with Lee Watson who was always available and happy to advise regarding any questions I had. He then did my self-assessment tax return to tie up the move of companies and help me get the correct tax code.

The flexibility to be able to contact Lee and get a reply the same day was just exceptional and gave me peace of mind and the confidence that I was following HMRC tax requirements correctly.

I would highly recommend Clive Owen LLP.  They offer excellent service, a quick response and I felt they were very reasonably priced.
