The job that costs you when it slips
R&D tax relief can return a meaningful chunk of what you spend solving technical problems — as a Corporation Tax reduction or a cash credit. Yet many qualifying companies never claim, and many that do now get it wrong.
HMRC has tightened the rules and is scrutinising claims far more closely. A weak, over-optimistic or poorly-evidenced claim is now a fast route to an enquiry — so the work has to be done properly, by someone who knows the line.
- Not realising your work even qualifies
- Confusion over the SME and merged schemes
- Knowing which costs and activities are eligible
- Building a technical narrative HMRC will accept
- Rising HMRC scrutiny and enquiry risk
- Cowboy advisers who over-claim and disappear
Hand it over, and consider it handled
R&D tax relief rewards UK companies that develop new or improved products, processes or software. Many businesses qualify without realising it — and many claims now fail because they are poorly evidenced.
We identify your qualifying activity, calculate the eligible costs, and prepare a technical and financial report designed to withstand HMRC scrutiny — then submit and manage the claim for you.

The honest answers to what you’re thinking
How much does an R&D claim cost?
We agree the basis up front and keep it fair — typically a clear fixed fee or a sensible percentage, with no surprises. Because we only proceed where there’s a genuine claim, it pays for itself.
How do I know if my work qualifies?
Broadly, if you tried to resolve a scientific or technological uncertainty where the answer wasn’t obvious to a competent professional, it may qualify. We’ll give you an honest yes or no after a short review.
Will claiming trigger an HMRC enquiry?
HMRC is checking claims more closely, which is exactly why we evidence yours thoroughly. A well-built claim is far less likely to be questioned — and if it is, we handle it.
My accountant doesn’t really do R&D — can you?
Yes. R&D relief is specialist work; many general accountants avoid it or get it wrong. We can run your claim whether or not we do the rest of your accounting.
