Spotlight on Rupert Oliver Property Agents

Knowledge of the property sector and an appetite to work alongside growing businesses are two important aspects of our work at Corrigan. These have proved a great match for innovative property agents Rupert Oliver, who came to us a start up and who we continue to support as their business grows.

Rupert Oliver contacted us in 2017 when he was about to launch his property agents business. As an experienced senior professional in the Bristol residential property sector he was convinced there was a business opportunity for a bespoke specialist service based on a fixed fee.

 

Whilst he had deep knowledge of the sector and a clear vision, it was his first time running his own company.

We were able to help him establish a Xero accounting system for the company, and support the business so that his compliance with accounting VAT and payroll did not become a headache. When equity finance was introduced we obtained approval for the investment under the Enterprise Investment Scheme to secure valuable tax breaks for the investors.

The company has continued to grow and now operates from offices in Clifton, where clients continue to enjoy the benefit of the highly professional approach and spectacular photography that are as much a hallmark of the business as its fixed fees.

"Corrigan did a great job in helping me get started and dealing with the accounting side of the business so that I could concentrate on looking after our clients. And they are always happy to pick up the phone to talk about tax or accounting questions if I need help."Rupert Oliver, owner
