1. Who we are
This website is operated by Walmer Finance Ltd, trading as Walmer Group, a company registered in England and Wales under number 12444849, with its registered office at 184 Shepherds Bush Road, Hammersmith, London, W6 7NL. Our VAT number is GB 380 9821 71. You can reach us at hello@walmergroup.com or 020 8004 4257.
2. Accepting these terms
By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. We recommend keeping a copy for your records.
3. The information here is general, not advice
Everything published on this site, including service pages, insights, case studies and news, is general information about what we do and how the funding landscape works. It is not tax, legal, financial or investment advice, and it is not a recommendation to take any particular course of action.
R&D tax relief, grant funding and HMRC practice all change, and how they apply depends entirely on your circumstances. Nothing here should be relied on as a statement of your position. Speak to us, or to another suitably qualified adviser, before you act or refrain from acting.
Case studies and results describe particular engagements. They are not a promise or prediction of what will happen in yours.
4. Our regulatory position
Walmer Group provides strategic and preparatory support only. We are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
- We do not provide investment advice or make personal recommendations about investments.
- We do not provide credit advice, and we do not arrange, broker or administer lending or other regulated products.
- Any introduction we make to a lender, investor or partner is made on a non-advisory basis to an independent third party. Whether to proceed with them is your decision, on their terms, and we are not party to that relationship.
5. Calculators and estimated figures
Where this site offers a calculator or shows an estimated benefit, the figure is an illustration generated from the inputs you provide, using general assumptions. It is not a valuation, a quotation, or a statement of what you are entitled to.
Actual outcomes depend on eligibility, qualifying expenditure, the scheme that applies to you, your tax position and HMRC’s view. No figure shown here creates any obligation on us, and none should be relied on for planning or reporting.
6. Engaging us
Submitting the contact form or subscribing to updates does not create a professional relationship and does not oblige either of us to proceed. We act for you only once we have agreed the work in writing, and that engagement letter, not this page, sets the terms of the work.
7. Intellectual property
We own or are licensed to use all content on this site, including text, design, graphics, photographs and the Walmer Group name and logo. It is protected by copyright and trade mark law.
You may view, download and print pages for your own reference or for the internal purposes of your organisation. You may not republish, sell, or systematically extract our content, or use it to train automated systems, without our written permission. If you quote us, please credit Walmer Group and link to the page.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the site unlawfully, fraudulently, or in a way that could damage or disrupt it.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, its servers or its database.
- Submit anything false, misleading, or containing malicious code, or impersonate anyone else through our forms.
- Use automated means to scrape or overload the site, or to submit enquiries in bulk.
9. Links to other websites
Where we link to another organisation, we do so for information. We do not control those sites, do not endorse their content, and are not responsible for what they do with your information. Their terms and privacy notices apply once you leave ours.
10. Availability
We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee it. We may suspend, withdraw or change any part of it without notice, and we are not liable if it is unavailable for any period.
11. Our responsibility for loss or damage
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. If you are using this site as a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.
Subject to that, we exclude all conditions, warranties and terms that might otherwise be implied into your use of this site.
If you use the site for business purposes, we are not liable to you for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill, or any indirect or consequential loss, however arising, including loss arising from your reliance on information published here.
This clause governs your use of the website. It does not limit our responsibility for work we carry out for you under an engagement, which is dealt with in that engagement letter.
12. Your information
We handle personal information as described in our privacy notice. Our use of storage on your device is described in the cookie notice.
13. Changes
We may amend these terms at any time by updating this page. The date at the top shows when we last did, and the version in force is the one published when you use the site.
14. Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising out of them or your use of this site are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you may bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction.
