Capital Allowances on Commercial Buildings

If you have purchased a commercial or industrial building within the last year to eighteen months, you could be losing out on significant tax savings if you haven’t made specific claims for capital allowances on items such as Air Conditioning or Heating Systems, Lifts, Alarms and other installations.

As the rules for Capital Allowances will change from April 2008, in many cases for the worse, now is the time to review any recent investments in buildings to ensure that you have claimed the maximum allowances available.

If you would like to review the possibilities of claiming additional tax relief, please email wes@a4gsolutions.co.uk


Improving Customer Service

 

Surveys suggest that the costs to gain a new customer are at least 6 times higher than the costs to retain an existing customer. Customer service however is often an area of marketing which is overlooked, and as such marketing costs may be much higher than necessary.

By developing a long term relationship with their customers, businesses can grow very effectively by ensuring that their current customers remain loyal and recommend their friends and colleagues. However, the business will need to deliver a service above the customer’s expectations, to ensure that they have that “WOW” factor.

To explore how your business can grow without spending thousands on marketing to new business, please contact malcolm@a4gsolutions.co.uk.
