Sam Stephens, Director and founder of TBAT Innovation will be the driving force behind TBAT’S first of a kind roadshow tour, focusing on revealing the true value of the R&D Tax Credits scheme to your business.

R&D Tax Credits for ambitious innovative companies will be on the menu at the first in a series of Roadshows touring the UK by TBAT Innovation. Entrepreneurs and innovators working on improving or modifying an existing product or improving a manufacturing process; that is, making a product cleaner, quicker, greener, cheaper, etc are all good candidates for the R&D Tax Credits scheme.

A common misconception is that the relief is only for big companies. TBAT want to lift the lid on this. The reality is that the majority of innovation now takes place in small and medium-sized enterprises, who are precisely the type of companies who should be applying and attending this first of a kind roadshow.

East Midlands-based TBAT Innovation is now one of the UK’s leading business consultancies in its field.  Established in 2002, the company provides innovation support to technology research and development organisations throughout the country by accessing grant funding, R&D tax credits, conducting market research and evaluating innovation opportunities.

This first roadshow will cover the current R&D Tax Credit schemes available to SME’s and larger companies. Topics include: Who qualifies, eligible costs, how much can be recovered and your next steps as well as much more and of course real-life client examples.

There’s more good news, Sam Stephens advises, “Even if you’ve never paid any corporation tax and never made a profit, you could still be eligible to claim R&D Tax Credits”

The Roadshow event takes place on Wednesday 7th February 2018, at the stylish Nottingham Belfry Hotel.  The Roadshow doors will open at 8.30am with breakfast at 9:00am, followed by the Roadshow itself at 9.30am. The Roadshow itself is due to end by 10.30am and delegates can stay on afterward for networking and most importantly to book a R&D Tax Credits Consultation with one of our experts, where you will receive an exclusive consultancy discount on your claim when booking your consultation session at this roadshow.

If you’re interested in attending this event, you can find out more or book your place here. Please note that places are limited and booking is essential.

For more information on R&D Tax Credits, please contact Ian Davie via email or by calling 01332 819 740.
