Dear Bob,
Hope this email finds you well.
Following on from my previous note, I wanted to zoom in on the two areas
that most often drive immediate inbound enquiries for us: R&D Tax Credits
and Grant Funding.
1/ R&D Tax Credits - getting “claim-ready” without the headache
If your team is solving technical/scientific uncertainties (software,
engineering, manufacturing, life sciences, etc.), there may be a claim
opportunity but the rules and required supporting detail have tightened in
recent years.
In practice, the biggest challenges are rarely the maths - they’re usually:
* Defining qualifying R&D (and drawing a clean boundary around it), aligned
to the DSIT Guidelines
* Capturing evidence of the technical uncertainties and the work done to
resolve them
* Presenting costs correctly (staff apportionment, subcontractors/EPWs,
software/cloud/data etc.)
* Meeting HMRC’s process requirements and submitting the right supporting
detail
A simple approach that works well:
1. Quick eligibility call (projects + timelines)
2. Evidence-led technical write-up (baseline, what the advance was, what was
uncertain, what you tried)
3. Cost mapping (who did what, when, and why it qualifies)
4. Submit in a way that’s robust and consistent with the latest requirements
<https://innovationtaxhub.co.uk/r/867d9ffb5d96d723c8d288553?ct=YTo2OntzOjY6InNvdXJjZSI7YToyOntpOjA7czoxNDoiY2FtcGFpZ24uZXZlbnQiO2k6MTtpOjY1OTt9czo1OiJlbWFpbCI7aToyNTM7czo0OiJzdGF0IjtzOjIyOiI2OTdiM2VlYmNlMDViNzE2MTkwMjI0IjtzOjk6InNlbnRfdGltZSI7aToxNzY5Njg0NzE1O3M6NDoibGVhZCI7czo3OiIxMDUxNDc5IjtzOjc6ImNoYW5uZWwiO2E6MTp7czo1OiJlbWFpbCI7aToyNTM7fX0%3D&>
Check if your projects qualify
2/ Grant Funding - de-risking development and accelerating delivery
Grant competitions are competitive, but strong applications tend to share
the same fundamentals:
* A clear technical roadmap and deliverables
* A realistic plan for budget, resourcing and milestones
* A credible commercial case (market need, route to adoption, measurable
impact)
Where we add the most value is helping teams translate what they’re already
doing into a fundable structure, with the right level of technical and
commercial detail.
How we can support you
If you have any development work planned for 2026, we can help you:
* Sense-check whether there’s a genuine R&D claim opportunity
* Identify suitable grant calls well in advance (rather than rushing last
minute)
* Build a joined-up plan so the narrative, costs and timing stack up cleanly
across both
Next steps
Would you be open to a short call next week to cover:
* What you are building/improving (next 6–12 months)
* Whether R&D, a grant route, or a combined approach makes the most sense
* Any key deadlines or prep actions worth tackling early
