How we Started
R&D Claim Consultants was established over 15 years ago in response to the limited quality of support available to SMEs making their first R&D tax credit claims. From the outset, our aim has been to provide accurate, reliable and transparent advice that helps businesses secure the funding they are entitled to.
Over time, our services have expanded to include grant consultancy, reflecting the growing range of government-backed incentives available to support innovation.
Our Vision
We aim to strengthen the innovation funding landscape by providing clear, reliable and professional support for both R&D tax credit claims and grant applications. Our vision is to empower businesses, advisers and other stakeholders to navigate complex funding processes with confidence, ensuring that legitimate projects receive the support they deserve while maintaining the integrity of government-backed schemes.
