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&amp;D activity.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A biotech company may encounter new technical uncertainties when scaling a laboratory process to commercial production. A chemical manufacturer may undertake qualifying R&amp;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.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yet identifying and claiming R&amp;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.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In this webinar, Leyton\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-watch-the-webinar-replay\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Watch the webinar replay<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Complete the form below to access the full webinar replay and hear from our science specialists about identifying qualifying R&amp;D across the innovation lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"24px\"} --><!-- \/wp:spacer --><!-- wp:image {\"id\":13919,\"aspectRatio\":\"1.9140528617892258\",\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"22px\"} --><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 22px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d73dcf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5d73dcf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leyton.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/9\/files\/2026\/10\/Webinars-exo-29-UK-19.png\" title=\"Webinars exo 29 UK (19)\" alt=\"Webinars exo 29 UK (19)\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c205f50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c205f50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 22px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer --><!-- wp:heading {\"anchor\":\"h-explore-your-bics-application\"} -->\n<h2 id=\"h-explore-your-bics-application\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore your R&amp;D opportunities<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Have questions about whether your activities qualify, or how to maximise your claim?
