About the claim<\/h2>\n

Comtek have a large focus on sustainability, proven by their work’s contribution to the circular economy. Plus, they’re constantly innovating as very little of their work can be an off the shelf solution.<\/p>\n

Despite Comtek previously claiming R&D internally, Leyton\u2019s process allowed them to increase their qualifying expenditure by applying multiple methodologies they hadn’t considered before to aspects of their work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The process<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Christine Sheibani<\/p>\n

HR Director at Comtek Network Systems<\/p>\n

The biggest thing for us was the proactivity. With other firms, we were constantly chasing for updates. This time, the team kept in touch, followed up when needed, and even chased me when I hadn\u2019t sent something over, which, honestly, I need because I\u2019m so time-poor. The experience was night and day.<\/p>\n

For us, Leyton made the whole process pretty simple. I could just have a conversation with the team about what we\u2019d done, without having to go through reams of paperwork. I just don\u2019t have time for that. Their knowledge and flexibility saved us a huge amount of time.<\/p>\n

It’s nice to be able to work with a team that knows what they’re doing. They\u2019re responsive and proactive, and if they\u2019re ever unsure about something, they go and find out the information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

The benefit of working with Leyton<\/h2>\n

\u201cI believe Leyton will advise businesses accurately regarding their eligibility of R&D Tax Credits. If you are involved in eligible projects, I would recommend using Leyton to streamline the entire process and free up valuable staff time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

The impact of the claim\u00a0<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe claim will help us recoup some of the \u2018lost\u2019 time spent on R&D and will provide a welcome financial boost by reducing some of our tax payments.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
