How we can help

R&D tax credits

R&D tax relief is a critical tool for corporate organisations to fund innovation initiatives. Ayming partners with finance and technical teams to identify eligible projects, ensure accurate claims, and maintain HMRC compliance. Our approach converts innovation efforts into measurable financial benefit, freeing capital for reinvestment in growth, technology, and strategic development.

Direct funding and Global network

Accessing direct funding at scale can be complex for corporates. Ayming identifies active funding bodies, allocates suitable competitions, managing applications and compliance requirements on our clients' behalf. Leveraging our global network, we connect organisations to strategic partners, collaborative projects, and funding streams that accelerate innovation, drive international expansion, and support ambitious growth plans.

Patent box

Corporate IP portfolios can generate substantial value through Patent Box. Ayming helps identify qualifying patents, structure claims efficiently, and maintain compliance with HMRC guidelines. By unlocking tax savings, we enable organisations to reinvest in innovation, strengthen IP strategy, and the long-term financial impact of their research and development efforts.

HMRC Enquiry defence

Corporate R&D claims are increasingly scrutinised. Ayming provides full HMRC Enquiry defence, handling technical queries, documentation, and communications. Our service mitigates risk, protects financial outcomes, and ensures claims are defended effectively, allowing corporate teams to focus on operational priorities and strategic innovation without regulatory distraction.

Educational webinars, talks, and events

Ayming’s webinars, talks, and events for corporate clients deliver practical insight into funding strategies, the regulatory landscape, and innovation best practices. Participants gain guidance to optimise claims, secure grants, and keep abreast of sector trends, while fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a culture of continuous innovation across partners, investment strategies, and business operations.
