About ChallengeMyRates
Built to protect UK businesses from overpaying.
Business rates are one of the biggest costs UK businesses face — and many are paying more than they should. We use technology and official government data to find savings, file challenges, and keep you compliant.
The problem with the current system
Traditional rating surveyors often charge a percentage of whatever they save you. On a significant saving, that percentage fee can run into thousands of pounds.
Many businesses don't challenge their rates at all — because the process is opaque, the fees are high, and they don't know where to start.
And with the new Duty to Notify being phased in from 2026 (mandatory for all by 2029), businesses that prepare early will be ready when the compliance rules apply to them.
Our approach
We built ChallengeMyRates to make the whole process transparent, affordable, and automated.
A flat annual subscription — not a percentage of your savings. Technology-driven analysis — not manual guesswork. Ongoing monitoring and compliance — not a one-off report that gathers dust.
You run a free check, see what you could save, and decide if it's worth subscribing. If we can't help, you don't pay.
