Nobody liked to pay more tax than they have to. With our proactive advice, we will help you save as much money on tax as possible.
The tax saving schemes we use include Research & Development, EIS and SEIS, amongst others.
Most entrepreneurs will have an element of R&D within their company for which tax incentives could and should be claimed. Our expert team can help you identify these areas, as well as help you apply for these credits.
The Enterprise Investment Scheme and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme are great ways to raise money for your business, as investors can get major tax relief. We can explain how it works, discuss whether it’s the right decision for your business, and help you set it up.
Enterprise Management Incentives are perfect for small, growing businesses that struggle to match competitive market rate salaries for staff. These incentives allow you to pay key staff with share options. Book a call with us today to discuss whether it’s the right option for you.
