Outgoings

Business Rates/Property Tax

No properties were found where ORBITAL EXPRESS LAUNCH LIMITED is liable for the business rates / property tax. This could be for a number of reasons.

The council hasnt published the data
We havent found or been able to process the councils data
The company is part of a group of companies and another company in the group is liable for business rates
The registered office may be a residential address which does not have a commercial designation. If the business is run from home then it won't be a commercial property and hence won't be liable for business rates.
Serviced offices are increasingly popular and therefore a business may not be paying business rates directly - the building owner is and this is incorporated in the office rental charge.

The Technology Strategy Board has not awarded ORBITAL EXPRESS LAUNCH LIMITED any grants or awards. Grants from the TSB are an indicator that the company is investing in new technologies or IPR
