Our four-step R&D tax credit claim process

Our end-to-end claims process is bespoke to meet the unique requirements of each client. We reduce the amount of time you need to invest, whilst producing a high-quality submission that maximises your return on R&D spend. We go the distance, so you can focus on the day-to-day.

Consultation

For first-time claims, our initial consultation helps identify projects in your business that qualify for R&D tax credits. Alternatively, we’ll review your previous R&D claims to identify where efficiencies can be made. We’ll get to know your business and cover everything from terms to preparation, addressing any concerns you might have along the way.

Your time: Est. 1-2hrs

Workshop

During this session, we’ll get a better understanding of qualifying projects, identify relevant expenditure and gather the key information we need to build your claim.

Your time: Est. 4hrs

Submission

Before submitting your claim to HMRC, you will see a final version of the report written by our technical experts. We will answer any questions you might have and make sure that you are completely satisfied with the report.

Your time: Est. 2hrs

Benefit

Once your claim has been submitted, it will take about four to six weeks to receive your payment from HMRC. We use an escrow account so you can rest assured that your money is safe. Once received, the benefit is yours to enjoy straightaway!
