Analyse LOCAL provides tools and services to assist Councils with all aspects of Revenues work. These tools include forecasting, ratebase maximisation and Council Tax assessment finding, Small Business Rates Relief audits and Business Rates advice and consultancy. Analyse LOCAL is used by over half of all Councils in England and has successfully identified over £360m in additional rateable value. All services are also included in 3 procurement frameworks.

Over 700 local councils of all sizes now use CCLA to meet their short, medium and long term investment requirements.  With persistent low interest rates, some allocation of longer-term funds to higher yielding assets is increasingly considered a prudent diversification of resources. CCLA has managed local authority funds for over 40 years and charity funds for 60 years. We aim to deliver strong long-term returns and have unmatched experience in ethical and responsible investment.  We are owned by our clients with over £11.4 billion of assets under management. CCLA’s funds benefit from strong governance and transparency.
