Keep your client relationship and year-end accounts. Our specialists prepare the technical R&D report, qualifying cost calculations and additional information form, with a clear handover for your CT600 filing.
R&D tax support for your clientsGive founders a specialist view of which grant competitions fit their technology, stage and budget. We assess readiness before recommending an application and support early-stage companies from their first R&D tax claim.
Specialist grant writing supportConnect innovative businesses with technical grant and R&D tax specialists. We consider future project funding alongside qualifying expenditure already incurred, rather than treating the two as unrelated services.
Our grant consultancy expertiseGrants are competitive awards, so meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee funding. R&D tax relief is an entitlement for companies and expenditure that meet the statutory conditions, not a competition. HMRC can check the claim, so eligibility, technical evidence and accurate costs still matter.
Grant funding engagements have a minimum upfront setup fee starting from £1,750, plus a success fee payable on award. The scope and success fee are agreed before work starts. We do not take equity.
R&D tax relief claims have no upfront fee. We charge a success fee only, typically 10% of the benefit received, with no lock in on future years.
