R&D Tax Credits Relief Strategy

For companies investing £500k+ in qualifying R&D annually

We don't just file R&D tax credit claims. We build multi-year R&D tax strategies that maximise relief while staying fully HMRC-compliant.

Multi-year planning means we optimise relief timing across accounting periods, identify trends to strengthen future claims and build documentation that compounds in value year-over-year - not just one-off claim preparation

What's included:

  • Detailed technical and financial review of your R&D activities
  • Robust documentation that withstands HMRC enquiries
  • Ongoing advice on what qualifies and how to capture eligible costs
  • Support through HMRC enquiries if they occur

Who it's for:
Tech, manufacturing, life sciences, and deep tech companies with genuine R&D teams spending £500k-£2m+ annually on qualifying development.

What it's not for:
Light software development, minimal tech build, or speculative claims. We only work with companies engaged in genuine innovation.


Patent Box Tax Planning

Reduce your corporation tax to 10% on patent profits

If your company holds patents (granted) generating profits, Patent Box relief can reduce your effective corporation tax rate to just 10% on those profits.

Unlike volume R&D claims processors, we provide integrated strategy across R&D relief, Patent Box planning, and EIS structuring - maximising value across all innovation tax incentives.

What's included:

  • Assessment of whether your patents and products qualify
  • Calculation of Patent Box relief based on your IP profits
  • Integration with your R&D tax strategy for maximum benefit
  • Ongoing advice as your patent portfolio evolves

Who it's for:
Tech, life sciences, manufacturing, and deep tech companies with granted or pending patents generating commercial revenue.


EIS Investment Advisory

Structure growth capital efficiently for £1m-£12m raises

If you're raising growth capital through EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme), getting the structure right matters—for both you and your investors.

We provide strategic EIS advisory to ensure:

  • Your company structure qualifies for EIS relief
  • Investors receive the tax benefits they expect
  • Your fundraising is efficient and HMRC-compliant

What's included:

  • EIS eligibility review and structuring advice
  • Support through the advance assurance process with HMRC
  • Investor-facing documentation and assurance
  • Ongoing compliance to maintain EIS status

Who it's for:
Established growth companies raising £1m-£12m in EIS funding (not seed/SEIS stage).
