Quality CAR PARTS R&D Agents
We’ve been extremely busy over the recent months working with our renowned academic and industrial partners across a wide range of domestic and global collaborations. During this time, we’ve also seen a clear increase in companies requiring our remedial assistance due to a clear culture of poor professionalism within several arms of the innovation funding sector. This has also been a major concern of the government themselves as evidenced in their latest research and development tax reform proposals, demonstrating a lack of confidence in the compliance of unregulated funding agents operating in the field with no relevant qualifications.
Considering such concerns and the associated detrimental consequences that may surface at later dates, please be wary if you are receiving cold calls and emails from self-acclaimed “specialists” claiming they are HMRC-approved, have a USP of “low fee”, or are guaranteeing you sums of funding. Many incentive schemes require a substantial degree of due diligence and take a significant collaborative effort to ensure they are put together correctly, which means your chosen funding agent needs to be equipped with hands-on experience in the world of technical/scientific research as well as experienced and regulated in-house chartered or certified accountants or tax technicians. This is vital in ensuring there will be no backlashes in the future, especially considering the government’s upcoming reform which will require the name of the funding agents to be disclosed and may also require their expertise to be highlighted as well. Thus, red flags should appear if you are promised a 20-minute fast-tracked or risk-free service.
If you feel your incumbent service provider lacks the required qualifications, then get in touch with our team and we’d be happy to assess whether we can offer any assistance and provide you with peace of mind.
