What we do
Everything needed to take a claim from first conversation to money recovered, and to defend it afterwards.

What counts as R&D?
More than most directors expect. You do not need a laboratory or a research team. What matters is that your people had to work out something that was not readily known.
Software and technology
Building a new platform, a complex integration, or making existing systems do something they could not do before.
Engineering and manufacturing
New products and prototypes, or changes to a process that make it faster, cheaper, safer or less wasteful.
Science and biotech
Formulation, testing and development work where the outcome was uncertain when you started.
It can still qualify if it failed
Relief is for the attempt to resolve a technical uncertainty. Projects that were abandoned or did not work can still count.
It can still qualify if you filed already
You have two years from the end of an accounting period, so years you have already filed accounts for may still be open.
What our clients say about their R&D claims
"Thanks so much for this. The team was wonderful through this process. Really happy with our claim, thanks for your help!"
"We were very pleased with the service and the help provided throughout the process. We felt the team went above and beyond at every stage to deliver the maximum R&D benefit to our company."
"We have benefited from their award-winning corporate tax relief services and the whole process was an absolute delight. They have technical experts and experienced chartered tax and accounting professionals available throughout the entire process; they truly know their field."
"They have made the complex and tedious process of claiming R&D tax credits a simple, transparent and seamless process. The technical team understood the engineering complexity of our industry and the level of communication from the team has been excellent. This is the second year in a row we have used them."
"At every stage they have been responsive and supportive. Their produced work is consistently high level and they have made it an entirely seamless and low-touch process for us. We have benefited to the tune of over £200,000 of credits thanks to their work."
"We have just used them to submit our third R&D claim. When initially approached we understood little about the process but the team were exceptional, talking and handholding us through what we needed to do. It really is an excellent service."
R&D tax relief questions
More on the FAQs page, or book a call and ask us directly.
Does my company qualify for R&D tax relief?
You do not need a laboratory. If your team has developed or improved a product, process or piece of software and had to overcome real technical uncertainty to do it, there is a good chance some of the cost qualifies. A first call is usually enough to tell.
How much is a claim usually worth?
For the companies we work with, a typical claim falls between £8,000 and £250,000, depending on how much qualifying work was done and what it cost.
How far back can we claim?
You have two years from the end of an accounting period to claim R&D relief for it, so periods you have already filed accounts for may still be open.
We already claim R&D relief. Is it worth talking?
Yes. We review existing claims for qualifying costs that have been missed, and we can support you through an HMRC enquiry if one is opened.
What happens if HMRC asks questions about the claim?
Our technical experts and chartered tax professionals prepare every claim with the evidence behind it, and they handle the response with you if HMRC opens an enquiry.
Find out if you have a claim
Send a few details and a specialist will come back to you within one working day. A first call is usually enough to tell whether a claim is worth making.
