Current Insight
“The reality is many companies feel as if they need to be the next Google and develop cutting edge technology to access R&D Tax Credits. Little to their knowledge, the R&D scheme requires a company to 'overcome technical uncertainties' whilst 'seeking an advance in science or technology'. Therefore, it is a lot broader than what people think. At BourkeHood, we are on a mission to deliver and simplify this process to as many companies as possible”.
