R&D Tax Relief for Small Businesses

Many small businesses miss out on R&D tax relief—a government incentive that rewards innovation. If you're developing new products, processes, or technology, you could reclaim a substantial portion of your costs, boosting cash flow and freeing up funds for growth.

At Filipiak & Co., we help you:

  • Identify which projects and expenses qualify under HMRC’s innovation criteria
  • Prepare and submit accurate claims with the right evidence and calculations
  • Maximise your relief while staying fully compliant with HMRC rules

You don’t need to be in tech to benefit—construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and digital businesses often qualify. Let’s help you unlock what you’re owed.
