Direct peers

• ForrestBrown: UK specialist tax advisory firm focused on R&D tax credits with an accountant-partner distribution model and proprietary assessment tools — highly comparable specialist-tax GTM even though the underlying tax relief differs.
• Catax: UK specialist in capital allowances claims on commercial property. Closest direct competitor with overlapping surveying capability, accountant referral model, and HMRC-compliant reporting focus.

Broad incumbents

• Mazars UK: Mid-tier UK accounting and advisory firm with a tax practice that includes capital allowances. Larger firm with broader portfolio, competing for mid-market commercial property engagements.
• Crowe UK: Mid-tier UK accounting and advisory firm offering capital allowances services to commercial property clients. Competes for the same accountant-referred work but as one of many service lines.
• BDO UK: Top-tier UK accounting and advisory firm with an established capital allowances practice serving mid-market and large commercial property clients. Competes for the same end-clients but as part of a full-service portfolio.
• RSM UK: Mid-tier UK accounting and advisory firm with a dedicated capital allowances and tax reliefs team. Competes for commercial property tax work alongside broader audit and advisory services.
• Grant Thornton UK: Mid-tier UK accounting and advisory firm offering capital allowances and embedded-tax services to commercial property clients as part of its wider tax practice.
• Ayming: International tax consultancy with a UK practice covering capital allowances, R&D credits, and other innovation incentives. Larger, broader portfolio but materially overlapping capability with Capex Check's embedded-tax work.

Emerging players

• Kene Partners: UK R&D tax credit specialist with a partner-accountant distribution approach. Comparable specialist-tax DNA with proprietary assessment tooling, though focused on a different HMRC relief than capital allowances.
• RIFT Research & Innovation: UK specialist in R&D tax credits with a software-enabled, accountant-partner-led GTM. Adjacent rather than direct, but operates a comparable specialist-tax calculator-plus-claim model in a related relief.
