FCS Management Services, which serves a nationwide client base of commercial landlords, agents, business owners and tenants, has rebranded as Verity Commercial Services.
According to founder and chief executive, Simon Dresdner, the new title “better reflects the company’s values and offering”, as it seeks to expand its range of commercial property services.
The company is headquartered at the M60 Office Park in Swinton, Salford, and provides business rates advice and management to clients across England and Scotland in the industrial, office and retail sectors.
As a result, the firm focuses on issues involving empty properties, challenging rateable values, advising on available reliefs, property deletions, splits and mergers, as well as taking appeals against Valuation Office Agency rulings through the tribunals process.
Dresdner reported that the firm currently saves its clients more than £20m a year on their business rates bills.
Dresdner said: “We wanted a new corporate look and to convey the meaning of the business better. Verity means truth and honesty, which is what we offer our employees, clients and stakeholders.
“Our growth strategy involves increasing market share for our current services and moving into asset management, property management and vacant property services.”
Josef Weill, managing director of Verity, added: “With more people working from home, and to the growth in online retailing, our services are more in demand than ever, as empty properties are a huge burden for landlords.”
Verity was founded as FCS in 2015 and employs 20 staff, boasting an annual turnover to more than £2m. The group doubled its size over the past 18 months and aims to continue this growth amid surging demand for its services.
