About the webinar
For science businesses, innovation is not confined to initial research and development. As businesses progress from early-stage development through to scale-up, commercialisation and growth, new scientific and technological challenges can arise, creating distinct periods of qualifying R&D activity.
A biotech company may encounter new technical uncertainties when scaling a laboratory process to commercial production. A chemical manufacturer may undertake qualifying R&D when developing alternative formulations or improving an existing process. A hydrogen technology business may face new engineering challenges when adapting or scaling its technology.
Yet identifying and claiming R&D tax relief is not always a priority. Early-stage companies are often focused on funding and developing their technology, while established businesses concentrate on production and commercial growth. As a result, qualifying activities and expenditure can be overlooked.
In this webinar, Leyton’s science specialists explained how to recognise these periods of innovation, outlined the scheme rules and compliance requirements, and shared practical sector examples to help businesses prepare robust, compliant claims.
