Innovation Incentives
Helping you to optimise the UK’s R&D incentives.
In recent years, the UK's R&D schemes have become increasingly complex. The current situation has left even the most seasoned claimants uncertain about which activities qualify for relief. We’ll have open and honest conversations with you to clarify what will and won’t qualify.
There are a range of incentives available for businesses contributing to the UK’s growth through innovation.
Accessing these incentives isn’t always straightforward. Our specialist team will help you navigate the process and make a robust and defensible claim with confidence.
We stay up to date on the latest changes by taking part in government consultations, and through regular conversations with HMRC. By engaging our experienced team, you can have peace of mind that your claim is in safe hands, with ongoing support in reviewing, preparing, and submitting claims.
Our team of R&D specialists bring a combined 30 years’ experience supporting clients with their claims. They have supported clients across a range of sectors, including financial services, technology and media, manufacturing, and
health and life sciences.
Areas of focus
R&D tax credits provide tax relief based on the R&D costs that your company incurs and can be used to either reduce the amount of corporation tax your company pays, or to receive cash back from HMRC.
RDAs provide businesses with 100% tax deductions for capital expenditure incurred on development, equipment or facilities used in carrying out R&D activities.
Whilst a highly competitive process, innovation grant funding has the potential to secure non-dilutive finance for business growth through innovation.

The Buzzacott R&D team are the best we have ever worked with. What has impressed us the most is their holistic approach; they are able to look at the bigger picture and on numerous occasions have successfully identified issues outside of the R&D remit and provided expert advice and solutions to overcome the problem.
