What Clients Say About Minerva Innovation

Our award-winning expertise and ethical and transparent approach has been much appreciated by clients across a wide range of sectors. They highlighted the ease of the process, our professionalism, sector understanding and clear fee structure.

Clare (Veterinary Medicine client)

"Thorough, efficient and supportive"

“As a business which helps find novel ways to treat equine cancer, we were eligible to claim R&D tax but didn’t know the best way forward. Minerva Innovation explained everything clearly and helped us quantify the R&D we were already undertaking. They were extremely efficient and thorough and supported us by simplifying the process and highlighting significant R&D tax relief benefits. It is great to work with such an efficient and supportive company.”

Tony (Architecture client)

"Efficient and effective"

“We transferred from another R&D company to Minerva and have seen both an increase in benefit received and decrease in our time resource required to collate our submission. Minerva quickly understood our business, our sector and how it functions and engaged efficiently and effectively to produce our annual submission.”
