How we can help

R&D tax credits

R&D tax credits can significantly enhance research budgets but requires precise documentation and compliance. Ayming works with research organisations to identify eligible projects, calculate accurate claims, and optimise return value while safeguarding against risk. Our expertise ensures your innovative work receives the financial recognition it deserves, freeing resources to advance scientific discovery.

Direct funding and Global network

Navigating funding opportunities is complex for research organisations. Ayming helps identify and secure direct funding opportunities, managing applications and reporting requirements. Through our global network, we connect researchers to collaborative projects, strategic partnerships, and financial resources that accelerate innovation and enable ambitious programmes to succeed.

HMRC Enquiry defence

Research organisations face increasing scrutiny on R&D claims. Ayming provides expert HMRC Enquiry defence, handling technical queries and evidence submissions on your behalf. Our team protects your organisation, mitigates risk, and ensures claims are defended effectively, allowing researchers to focus on innovation rather than administrative challenges.

Educational webinars, talks, events

We offer tailored webinars, talks, and events for research organisations, providing guidance on funding strategies, shifting legislation, and sector best practices. These interactive sessions equip researchers and administrators with the knowledge to navigate funding landscapes, optimise project outcomes, and stay ahead in innovation while fostering collaboration and continuous learning.
