Spark Product Innovation Ltd, is a company focused on pioneering engineering and design solutions. The company was already claiming R&D tax credits and had a fair understanding of the process. However, they felt there was much more value to unlock with the right specialist partner. That’s when we came in.
The Challenge
While Spark knew how to identify projects qualifying for R&D claims, they were also aware they were missing out on larger financial benefits. They needed to deepen their knowledge of qualifying activities and maximise claims without putting additional strain on their technical team.
The Solution
Our team worked closely with Spark’s technical team to understand their projects in depth, restructuring how they approached new work to ensure they bore the right level of financial risk to fully qualify for R&D. B&B ran an intensive, proactive process that required minimal time investment on the client’s side: Spark simply provided a project brief, and B&B turned it into a robust report.
Impact & Results
As a result of working with B&B, the team at Spark has grown their understanding of R&D, enabling them to spot eligible projects in real time. This has reshaped how they work, enabling them to claim on more projects. With our help, the client massively increased the value of their claims, freeing up funds to reinvest & grow the business.
Why did you choose Bonham & Brook?
Bonham & Brook stood out with a strong proposal, transparent pricing, and a team that included ex-HMRC inspectors. This gave the client immediate confidence. The client also highlights our team’s ability to quickly grasp their technical work and hold high-level conversations with their engineers, as a crucial advantage.
“The only thing Bonham & Brook could have done to improve, is extract information from my brain”
Working with Bonham & Brook
The client highlighted:
- Our smooth and transparent processes.
- Always having someone knowledgeable to speak with.
- B&B pushing the process forward to maximise the claim and deliver on time.
Alan found that the minimal time they spent was far outweighed by the substantial benefits received in the end.
Looking Ahead
Spark plans to continue working with Bonham & Brook to further strengthen their approach to R&D, and invest more into the business, with the confidence that their claims are maximised and compliant.
Bonham & Brook has a score of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot.
