" Our Company had issues with HM Revenue & Customs in the UK. We secured the services of Harbour Consultants to act on our behalf, to try to reduce a wrongdoing penalty of £125,000, that our company received. They managed to negotiate the figure down to £12,500.
We were very happy with the result and also the fees that we were charged for the service that was provided. We now use Harbour Consultants for all our disputes and would highly recommend them. "

" Due to Harbour Consultants knowledge and contacts within the EU, our company uses them to locate distribution networks that would assist our development and operations within mainland Europe, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
Harbour Consultants themselves at times directly deal in distribution, this in turn gives our company added support when it is required.
Harbour Consultants are a reputable company that come highly recommended.."

"Both my husband and I own a small business and over the past two years, due to the Covid issues, we managed to get ourselves into so much debt that we could not see any way out of the situation. We contacted Harbour Consultants and they explained in detail, the various ways in which we could deal with the issues.
When we were in discussions, we explored all the options that were open to us, from the best to the worst and I can confirm that with guidance from, Harbour Consultants, we chose the best option. Both my wife and I can rest assured that this difficult situation is behind us and we would like to thank Harbour Consultants for their continued support."
