Some news: we're pivoting @ClaimerApp 👀
We’ve stopped taking on new clients and we'll stop processing claims entirely once our current clients have filed their claims and received their tax relief.
Here's the full story on why and what's next:👇

Why must the UK protect its science budget?
1 R&D may be underestimated
2 R&D is key to restoring productivity growth
3 Public investment in R&D can generate wider benefits

We must begin to value what is real over what we would like to believe; to value science over fantasy, fact over fiction. We can no longer afford to stay in our silos […]. We can’t afford to stop communicating with each other. https://t.co/FvWFgjdFj1

The Great Resignation is creating amazing opportunities for tech startups to grow their talent pools. 📈
Use the current financial climate as an opportunity to ‘steal’ top talent.

The Great Resignation:
Seeing more talent leave high priced private companies in the knowledge that at best, they will get 2x their stock options on IPO.
Startups, there has never been a better time to be aggressive on talent.
Be generous on equity, responsible on salary.
In case you missed the news recently, the criteria for 'qualifying R&D spend' is due to expand from 2023 to incorporate MORE things. 💙
This includes essential startup stuff like hosting and data storage (yes... reduced AWS bill for the win!).
R&D claim mythbusting: Most R&D claims do not get inspected upon submission to HMRC!
This can give a false sense of security that your R&D claim consultant or accountant is doing a ‘proper job’.
But, it can be challenged by HMRC years after the fact, so it better be watertight
We 💙 the UK’s R&D relief scheme…
💙 It’s non-dilutive
💙 You don’t have to pay it back
💙 Paid in a short time-frame
💙 No strings attached
💙 Credits are business logic agnostic
💙 You don’t need evidence of ‘traction’
Startups exist to grow fast and vast. 📈
This is usually fuelled by venture capital. But, what happens in a downturn and your metrics don’t excite VCs?
Do you have a ‘pivot to profitability’ backup plan?
Take a look at this @Forbes article: https://t.co/N6b0igOktO
R&D claim mythbusting: Filing an R&D claim does not just require financial expertise, it also requires technical expertise.
Accountants are great on the financial part, but not so great on the technical part.
…We’re pretty good at both!
Come aboard! https://t.co/jKIHxpyqjp
