Three pillars, one engagement, and one set of findings.
Engagement
Complete business audit
sector
Manufacturing
lookback
Four years
A manufacturer with forty staff, importing components and running a site with significant energy draw. An accountant filing on time, every time, and a business that had never once been asked whether it qualified for anything.
What nobody had checked
The owner had heard of R&D relief and assumed it was for laboratories. Nobody had raised import duty, and the energy contract had rolled over three times.
What we did
One thirty-minute conversation about what the business makes, what it buys and what it pays for. From that, a check across all three pillars rather than the one that prompted the call.
Certified partner firms prepared the regulated submissions. The cost work ran in parallel, because it does not depend on anyone else's timetable.
What we found
An R&D-only firm working the same business would have found the first line and stopped.
£40,000
R&D tax relief identified in year one.
£18,000
Import duty recovered across three years.
£22,000
Energy, insurance and telecoms renegotiated.
