About the client<\/h2>\n

Quix was founded in 2020 by former McLaren Forumla 1 engineers. They build software that supports engineering organisations, especially mechanical engineers, in developing products such as, cars, trucks, buses and other systems.

Their in-house data platforms enable innovative businesses to accelerate their new developments and projects.

Alongside Quix\u2019s core platform, they also provide AI agents which allow hardware engineers to build their own data platforms and develop analytics, data science and software applications without relying on software or data engineers for support.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The process<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhilst most founders in the technology space should realise that the R&D claim has the potential to be the highest ROI of any time spent across a year, the reality is that finding the time to prepare the claim and ensure robustness just doesn\u2019t materialise.<\/strong>

Leyton drove this end-to-end process with our technical leads and accounting partners ensuring that my time was only leveraged for context, confirmation of narrative and appreciation of the level of technical involvement.\u202f

Dealing with HMRC can be confusing, and rising enquiry rates put us off submitting R&D Tax claims for a long time.

The team at Leyton took ownership of the full submission and were genuinely invested in the outcome – exactly the support I was looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Impact of your claim<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe claim has had a material impact on our runway and allowed us to start hiring new staff. We will also be investing the finances claimed to help develop our products faster, which is vital in the AI industry as it\u2019s constantly evolving at pace.

We have been able to significantly extend our runway and made strategic decisions to maintain that runway length while increasing our investment in growth. This has allowed us to scale the business faster within the time we had available.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

My biggest advice for other businesses would be to let Leyton do the claim for you. I would recommend their team to anybody and encourage founders to go for it. <\/p>\n
