What Our Clients Say
"As a business which helps find novel ways to treat equine cancer, we had been wanting to claim R&D tax relief for a while. We knew that our business was eligible, but we didn’t know the best way forward. Adam Pearce at Minerva Innovation explained everything clearly and helped us quantify the R&D we were already undertaking. Adam was extremely efficient and thorough and supported us through the process. He simplified the process for us and highlighted the significant benefits R&D tax relief has for our business. It is great to work with such an efficient and supportive company. "
