Capa

What Capa does

Capa (legal entity Consultiam Property Limited) is a UK commercial property advisory and forensic audit firm operating from London and Glasgow. The company runs two complementary divisions: a Property Services division handling acquisitions, disposals, lease restructuring, rent reviews, rating appeals and asset management for retailers, leisure operators, insolvency practitioners, banks and VCs, and an Audit Services division that conducts forensic audits of commercial property outgoings (rent, rates, service charge, insurance, utilities) and accounts payable using bespoke in-house software. All work is performed on a no-win, no-fee contingency basis, with CAPA taking a share of the savings or recoveries it generates for clients.

The business serves a narrow but deep buyer set dominated by UK insolvency practitioners (PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, FRP Advisory, Alix Partners, Teneo, Interpath) and large multi-site corporate occupiers. It claims to have recovered £350m for clients over 20 years across 700 cases, including £38m for administrators in the last 12 months alone, and is the main sponsor of R3's 2026 Annual Conference, TRI Awards and The 500 Club networking series. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, 51-100 employees, and is led by Tony Sweeney (Audit Services) and Mike Sheath (Property Services).

The technology stack is intentionally lightweight: there is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no API surface, no mobile app, and no integrations; competitive differentiation rests on bespoke audit software, 20 years of accumulated case data, and a tenant-only positioning that eliminates landlord-side conflicts. The revenue model is project-based professional services with all fees contingent on outcomes, meaning revenue is structurally correlated with UK insolvency waves and large corporate cost-out programs rather than recurring subscription contracts.
