Tax incentives for innovation – is your business making the most of the opportunity?

Ensure your business recognises and receives the full credit it’s due with innovation tax incentives. Watch this webinar organised by Goodwille together with GovGrant to understand how your business can benefit from your Research & Development (R&D) and Intellectual Property (IP). In this webinar, we take a deep dive into the available schemes, what’s involved in the claims process, and tips to maximise your R&D claim value.

There are currently six million SME’s operating in the UK, and while the coronavirus pandemic hit the SME sector hard, those are the businesses that kept the economy going. As a result, many companies had to develop new ways of working and innovation to ensure business growth. If you are an SME registered and operating in the UK, that innovation could mean that you have entitled to tax relief under the UK government R&D tax credits scheme.

During this webinar, we cover:

• An overview of the schemes available to UK businesses

• Common misconceptions

• Client success stories

GovGrant empowers businesses to realise their innovation potential; they reward the risk-takers and only focus on commercial outcomes. Through a deep understanding of the R&D ecosystem and their technical capability, they create value for their clients by recognising their R&D and maximising the value of their Intellectual Property.
