Real clients

As a fellow business in the professional services sector, we really valued Clive Owen LLP’s clear advice and proactive approach throughout the process.

Their support gave us the confidence to go for the Business Growth Fund grant funding and invest in a new, modern office, which will help to support our next phase of growth.

We felt supported and well guided from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl and the team.

I am a Medical Doctor who lives in Spain and provides medical services in both the UK and Spain on a self-employed basis.

I have used Clive Owen LLP for over a decade. They have always helped me to do my tax returns and provide advice on tax matters.

It has been vital for my business to keep tax issues clear so there are no mix ups between both countries tax authorities. It is also of great value making sure I pay just the right amount of tax and keeping up to date with current regulations.

I would reccomend them to anybody who intends to do business in the UK and other EU Countries

NEG Architectural Systems design, manufacture and install architectural façade systems from our base in Washington, Tyne and Wear. Following strong, sustained growth we reached a point where we had a bottleneck in one of our key production processes. We had to make a decision as to whether to invest in new profiling equipment or to wait until market demand became clearer. We learned about the opportunity to secure grant support to de-risk our investment and appointed the Clive Owen grants advisory team to undertake the bid writing process on our behalf.

 

We were successful with our application, and this has allowed us to commit to the new machinery and create new jobs in the business. The support from Clive Owen allowed us to speed up the application timeline whilst our management team focussed on the business. We would recommend working with Joe Vera-Sanso and Carl Wright on all things grants.

Clive Owen has provided excellent support across all of our tax affairs and compliance requirements. Their knowledge of the R&D tax relief rules has been invaluable in helping us understand the requirements of the scheme and ensuring our submissions are well supported. The team is approachable, responsive and always willing to provide clear, practical advice. We highly value the relationship and the support they continue to provide.
