Supporting first-time R&D claimant with end-to-end claim preparation

Challenge

Kwik Fab required a specialist adviser to help navigate the rules and ease pressure on internal resources.

Impact

ForrestBrown’s support saved Kwik Fab time and resulted in a tax credit, enabling it to reinvest.

About Kwik Fab and its claim

Kwik Fab Ltd is a metal fabrication business that undertakes custom projects for its clients. One project – to develop and produce a wind turbine for urban environments – presented technological uncertainty, prompting an R&D tax relief claim.

Having initially considered preparing a claim in-house, Kwik Fab found that the complexity of the R&D rules, coupled with the time needed to prepare the claim, merited the support of a specialist adviser.

Client reflections

Having researched R&D providers, ForrestBrown stood out. They were quick to respond to my initial query and their depth of knowledge gave me confidence that we would get the right result.

In every respect, they went over and above. They explained everything clearly and ensured that we understood it, making us feel reassured about our first claim. ForrestBrown’s support saved considerable time and has resulted in a tax credit, enabling us to reinvest in the business. I doubt we would have achieved a similar result ourselves.

I highly recommend working with ForrestBrown. The team are extremely knowledgeable and personable, making the entire process straightforward.
