About Us

In 2005 he launched his own business consultancy service, ALMAN CONSULTING, utilising all the skills he had built up over the years.

Since 2012, Alan has worked with R and D Tax where he has applied his technical knowledge and experience to help SMEs to prepare and submit Research and Development tax claims.  This has been very successful and in 2017 the business has expanded further with a second office being opened in Cheshire, working with accountants and SMEs across the whole of the North-West. 

In 2023 the company launched its Capital Allowances service.

This is a specialised area. A company’s accountant will normally include a tax reducing Capital Allowance claim for business property, plant and machinery but often does not claim for embedded fixtures and fittings.  These are functional items that are simply put, embedded into the building. They can include items such as heating, air conditioning, hot and cold-water systems, electrical and lighting systems - the list is quite extensive and recognising these requires a detailed knowledge of the legislation. A qualified surveyor, experienced in this area, will be able to value what can be included and the Surveyor’s report is part of the justification for HMRC.
