The entire team at The Jonathan Lea Network are excellent. Super efficient, knowledgeable and great to work with. I worked with Simon most closely, who made our EIS Assurance an easy process, ensuring every detail was taken care of. Would highly recommend the team to anyone.

We used The Jonathan Lea Network to get us out of a what initially seemed an impossible situation with a poorly written unfair B2B contract.What can i say other than i was extremely impressed by their knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail.Andreea was absolutely lovely to deal with, very efficient and it is clear that she really does care about your situation.After just a few extremely well written letters from Andreea we settled on something we have been trying to do ourselves for over a year.

Exceptional experience. After being badly let down by another company, it was refreshing to deal with such professionals. I felt confident in the service throughout and the reassuring regular contact left me feeling I was in safe hands. The Jonathan Lea Network helped me secure my EIS status and they did it a lot faster than I had expected. I would certainly recommend and would be happy to speak with potential customers of The Jonathan Lea Network if anyone needs an Independent review of them. Absolutely over the moon with the service and success of the application. Top notch!
