R&D Tax Credits for Digital & Creative Agencies
If your agency builds custom technology, solves technical challenges, or pushes creative boundaries, you may be leaving tens of thousands of pounds unclaimed each year.
The challenges agencies tell us about every week.
If any of these read like your week, you're in the right place.
You assume R&D credits are only for science labs
Many agency founders think R&D tax credits are only for biotech or engineering firms. In reality, digital agencies that develop bespoke software, build complex integrations, or create innovative technical solutions often qualify.
01You have been put off by aggressive R&D claim firms
The R&D tax credit market has been tarnished by firms making inflated claims. HMRC is cracking down, and poorly prepared claims now face scrutiny. You need a credible, conservative approach.
02You do not know which projects qualify
R&D eligibility is based on technical uncertainty and advancement, not whether something is "innovative" in a marketing sense. Without expert guidance, you either miss valid claims or risk over-claiming.
03This service is built for you if…
Four signs you're ready for proper r&d tax credits. If you tick most of them, let's talk.
- Your agency builds custom software or digital products
- You solve technical challenges for clients
- You have developers, designers, or engineers on staff
- You have never claimed R&D credits before
Everything you need, handled by specialists.
Each line in your monthly fee. No surprise add-ons.
Eligibility assessment
We review your projects to identify which ones genuinely qualify for R&D relief under HMRC's guidelines. We are conservative. We only claim what is defensible.
01Technical narrative writing
We work with your technical team to document the technological uncertainties and advancements in language that HMRC expects. This is where most claims succeed or fail.
02Cost identification and calculation
We identify all qualifying expenditure, including staff costs, subcontractor fees, software, and consumables, and calculate the correct claim amount under the current scheme.
03Claim submission and HMRC liaison
We prepare and submit the claim as part of your Corporation Tax return. If HMRC enquires, we handle the correspondence on your behalf.
04Starting from £450/mo
Exact pricing depends on your transaction volume and complexity. We quote a fixed monthly fee after a 15-minute discovery call — no surprises.
