Service Overview
Professional Welfare & Universal Credit Advice in London
Universal Credit is a monthly payment designed to help with living costs for those on a low income or out of work. However, for those with complex income streams—such as business owners or contractors—the application process is notoriously difficult.

Whether you are facing a change in circumstances or need to understand how your dividends and drawings affect your claim, we provide the clarity needed to secure your financial future.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Universal Credit
What is Universal Credit for the self-employed?
Universal Credit for the self-employed requires you to report your business income and expenses to the DWP every month. At AcumenAGC, we ensure your bookkeeping is “benefit-ready.”
Does being a company director affect my Universal Credit?
Yes. The DWP often treats company directors as “analogous to a sole trader,” meaning your business assets and income are scrutinised closely. Professional advice is highly recommended.
How much can I earn before my Universal Credit stops?
This depends on your “Work Allowance” and the taper rate. For every £1 you earn over your allowance, your payment is reduced by 55p.
Are your services HMRC compliant?
Absolutely. All our welfare and tax advice is strictly aligned with HMRC regulations and the Welfare Reform Act.
Is there a fixed price for Universal Credit advice in London?
Yes, AcumenAGC offers fixed-price consultations for London-based small businesses and individuals to provide budget certainty.
