Streamlining R&D Tax Claims for UK Innovation Streamlining R&D Tax Claims for UK Innovation

In 2017 our founder recognised that the R&D tax claim process was not only complex, but also costly. EmpowerRD then became the first to launch an R&D tax claim platform in the UK, with backing from Forward Partners.

Delivering a hybrid approach of both people + platform, adapting to regulatory change when needed.
