Kore

Subscription-based R&D tax relief support

Kore is our retained, quarterly approach to R&D tax credits. Instead of relying on a single end-of-year exercise, we work with you throughout the year to plan ahead, capture evidence in real time, and prepare claims built with stronger clarity and confidence.

What we've learned through traditional R&D claims

Most R&D claims are pulled together at the end of the tax year, long after the work has happened. This can work, but it naturally creates gaps as details become harder to recall over time.

Evidence gets lost

Teams fall back on memory instead of maintaining reliable, real-time records.

Cost allocations become less clear

Project timelines shift, people move between tasks and projects evolve, making it harder to accurately apportion time and expenditure later.

Project details slip through the cracks

R&D work moves quickly, but claims built retrospectively can struggle to capture the full technical story behind the work.

The end-of-year work load builds up

Reconstructing a full year’s activity at once often requires more clarification and internal effort than teams expect.

Kore breaks the work into smaller, manageable steps across the year. You invest the same effort but in a way that’s easier to manage, leading to stronger evidence, clearer technical stories and a far smoother submission process.

Who Kore is for

Kore is built for businesses that treat R&D as a meaningful part of their growth, whether you’re preparing your first claim or refining an established process. If you value accuracy, compliance and ease, Kore gives you a structured, year-round way to manage your claim without the end-of-year sprint.

Our unique R&D tax subscription model is perfect for fast moving start-ups or scale-ups with recurring R&D, and organisations running continuous or complex R&D activity that need a more structured, compliant way to manage their claims.

Why choose Kore for your R&D support?
Proactive, not retrospective

We capture the story of your R&D while it’s happening, not months later.

Subscription pricing

A predictable monthly fee for a defined scope of year‑round support and not a percentage of your benefit.

Multi‑year value

Year-one evidence helps strengthen year-two claims and beyond.

Compliance first

Our process supports your team in evidencing eligibility clearly and reducing avoidable risk.

This means teams invest time steadily across the year rather than sprinting to reconstruct the past, whilst your finance team get a clearer view of timing and value.

How our Kore subscription R&D tax support works at a glance

Annual R&D plan
We co‑design a 12‑month plan around your roadmap, project timings and tax year-end. Sessions are spaced to suit your team (typically every 8-12 weeks).
Quarterly technical interviews
We run structured interviews with your competent professionals to capture uncertainties, hypotheses, tests, outcomes, and changes. Notes and artefacts are stored securely in your dedicated workspace.
Rolling cost evidence
We agree practical methods to time apportionment and cost capture, then maintain a running log to simplify your tax year-end reconciliation with your statutory accounts.
Submission & support
For live claim years, we prepare the technical narrative, calculations and the Additional Information Form (AIF), coordinating the submission with your accountant. For future years, we bank evidence to ensure the next claim is quicker and better documented.

Kore – FAQs

Is Kore only for larger claims?
No. Kore is designed for organisations with regular R&D activity or fast‑moving projects. If your R&D is occasional, our one‑off claim service may be a better fit.
Do you still prepare a full technical report?
Yes. The difference is we build it progressively through the year from contemporaneous evidence, rather than reconstructing everything at the end. This more in-line with how HMRC like claims to be prepared; contemporaneous evidence that R&D was conducted systematically, not retrospectively described.
Can we switch from subscription to a success‑fee later?
If your situation changes, we’ll discuss the right commercial model at renewal. We’re flexible!
Does Kore cover grants or Patent Box too?
Your Kore plan can include light‑touch monitoring or deeper support as an add‑on. We’ll help you coordinate incentives so they work together.
