estate agents penalised in the last reporting period.

The Inspection-Ready Guarantee

If HMRC inspects your business within 12 months of our build and identifies any deficiency in the compliance framework we delivered — any gap in the risk assessment, any missing policy, any documentation shortfall — we rebuild it at no additional cost and provide a full day of our time to remediate.

We built it. We stand behind it.

How It Works

Three steps. Under a week. You're covered.

Step 1

Free gap report

20 MINUTES · AT YOUR OFFICE

We review your current setup and give you a written report of exactly what HMRC would flag. You keep it whether or not we work together.

Step 2

We build everything

3–5 WORKING DAYS

Risk assessment, policies, checklists, sanctions setup, training — bespoke to your business. You don't need to prepare anything.

Step 3

You're inspection-ready

GUARANTEED FOR 12 MONTHS

If HMRC knocked tomorrow, you'd open the folder and everything's there. We come back annually for refresher training and updates.

Less than the cost of one fine. Protected for a full year.
