The support that the <a href=\"https:\/\/leyton.com\/uk\/rd-tax-sme\/\">R&#038;D tax credit <\/a>cash has given us has been invaluable. There are actually four businesses that Leyton has helped us with, but essentially our R&#038;D is centred around the fact that we tend not to make two products the same, there is some crossover but each customer wants a slightly differently solution. The majority of our workforce are white collar engineers, and their skills are on the design side of things.<\/p>\n<h2>How did you find the process of working with Leyton?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leyton.com\/uk\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/9\/files\/2022\/10\/Rectangle-42.png\" alt=\"How did you find the process of working with Leyton?\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Our Consultants Angela and Kayleigh were brilliant, as a team they were excellent and were very patient with us. Kayleigh has an engineering background and was very technically knowledgeable. Leyton managed to turn our claims around in a short period of time, they worked so well with my team. I have often found that consultants struggle to dumb things down for the user, but Leyton recognised the level of knowledge in the person they were dealing with.<\/p>\n<h2>What can you now do differently as a result of the R&#038;D tax benefit?<br \/><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leyton.com\/uk\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/9\/files\/2021\/04\/GettyImages-513367999_711x455px.jpg\" alt=\"What can you now do differently as a result of the R&amp;D tax benefit?\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>There has been significant change in the way we capture information and now we tend to capture the costs in a fairly detailed way. Rather than trying to slice and dice what you have, we try to identify it at the time to make the process smoother. Our team now fully understands what Leyton are looking for and how to approach things to ensure our Leyton consultants can get us the maximum benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Our in-house team of highly experienced scientists, engineers, tax consultants and attorneys would love to answer all your questions and help you make the most out of your R&#038;D efforts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Global experience<\/li>\n<li>Maximise your claim<\/li>\n<li>Audit Support<\/li>\n<li>Team of Experts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seanamic Group combines in-depth experience in engineering and equipment manufacture with the inspection and integrity assurance of critical assets.
