NEWS & EVENTS Specialist Funding Support to Business Is your company one of the 97% of businesses that incorrectly assume they can’t apply for funding to support their innovative work? MCS Corporate Strategies Ltd provide specialist funding support to businesses, with a core focus on cost recovery. As an independent consultancy, we help businesses and institutions to access the government grants and incentives they’re entitled to. This includes Research & Development, RDEC and Patent Box. Research & Development Tax Credits form a key part of Government strategy to boost innovation in business. This tax relief scheme reduces the real cost of investment in improving products and processes and remains one of the largest single Government funding mechanisms available for business. We make the whole identification and application process quick and simple. 1. We identify your eligibility and take the difficulty and stress out of making a R&D claim. 2. We work with you to gather the details and then prepare all submission documents. 3. We liaise with your accountants and HMRC to submit and process your claim. 4. We handle the entire claim process, from initial assessment to completion. The single key criteria for qualification is that you be registered as a UK corporate entity. Claims are retrospective (two years) and intended to be claimed year-on-year. SME’s and large companies qualify. Manufacturing, engineering and all disciplines, activities, parts, products, prototypes; IT software and first-of-class items are examples of what is included as items for research and development. The CIRD definition of R&D is wide and inclusive of very broad activities. We work on a success fee basis only so there’s no initial cost – you’ve nothing to lose.
