About the claim

We had previously made R&D claims but had stopped doing so. Our interest was reignited after seeing a Leyton case study from a similar industry, which gave us both credibility and food for thought.

When Leyton contacted us to discuss the case study in more detail, we decided to take an initial call and quickly realised there was a strong opportunity to unlock additional cash flow.

The process

“To be honest, the process was really great. What we’d done previously with other providers, they had assumed that we knew a lot more than we do about the R&D claim process, which was not the case.

With Leyton, everything was laid out, everything was documented, it was very clear what was expected from us and what we needed to provide. When we got into the actual work in progress , everything was turned around in around three weeks, which would’ve been quicker if we had been more proactive!

Leyton’s enquiry defence protection clause gave us the reassurance to move forward with confidence. Having that additional layer of support, which we hadn’t previously had in place, means we know Leyton would be there to represent and defend us in the event of an enquiry.”

The benefit of the claim

“It gave us additional flexibility and ensured we finished the year ahead of budget. That confidence allowed us to bring forward several new hires that we might otherwise have delayed, meaning they’re onboarding earlier and will be fully ramped to add greater value in the next financial year.”

What would you say to other businesses thinking about claiming with Leyton?

“Go for it, if you’ve got a potential R&D claim, there’s no reason not to pursue it.

The Leyton team have been great, Connor has been great coming back and forth on the financial side, Chada was great from the technical side and Ben leading the engagement at the beginning.

I don’t have a bad word to say about anything, it’s been a fantastic experience.”
