As a leading software development firm, Haulmont Technology pushes the boundaries of digital innovation. Partnering with Bonham & Brook unlocked funding they once thought out of reach, freeing resources to reinvest confidently in new product development.

The Challenge

Haulmont historically assumed R&D tax relief was not worthwhile for them due to complexities in their company’s structure. Bonham & Brook approached Haulmont directly, showing how there were practical workarounds and opportunities being missed. The client needed a specialist partner who could guide them through the process, and understand the technicalities of software development. 

 

The Solution

The client highlights the quality of Bonham & Brook’s submission, standing out in comparison with two other advisors. Offering:

  • Technical expertise in software development and R&D tax criteria.
  • Competitive, fair pricing
  • In-house HMRC expertise

 

Impact & Results

The tax relief secured from the successful claims has enabled the client to confidently invest in new product development, with several projects already in progress. The process saved valuable internal time and reduced stress, allowing the client to focus on their own business priorities.

“When we spoke with B&B’s technical team, it was clear they understood our industry and language. That saved us huge amounts of time and gave us confidence in the process.”

 

Paul Lacey, Managing Director, Haulmont Tech

Why Bonham & Brook?

B&B’s approached Hualmont. During initial conversations B&B managed to demonstrate the hidden value in their tech, and that the opportunity was worth investing in. B&B’s internal HMRC expertise ensured their complex projects would be presented correctly to HMRC, minimising risk and most importantly the time burden on the client.

 

“If you want a hassle-free partner that takes the heavy lifting off your shoulders, go with B&B.”

 

Working with Bonham & Brook

The client valued B&B’s:

  • Knowledgable technical consultants who understood their projects from the get-go.
  • Seemless processes
  • Attentive account managers.
  • Respect for workload pressures, reducing stress.

 

Looking Ahead

Haulmont has been working with Bonham & Brook for a number of years and plans to continue partnering with us to support ongoing innovation and future projects.

Bonham & Brook has a score of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot.
