Testimonials

“We design and manufacture cube satellites for customers such as NASA and the US Airforce and although we were clearly doing R&D we were being advised by people who didn’t understand the company and didn’t understand the potential.

After working with the consultants at Jumpstart we recovered more than £60,000 from HMRC. We were absolutely delighted and are now working with them on further R&D tax credit submissions.”

“Our banking manager at The Royal Bank of Scotland introduced us to Jumpstart. He convinced us that we should talk to them to see where there may be opportunities for us to apply for R&D tax credits.

I new nothing of these tax credits as our accountants had not mentioned them to us, but to be fair, the R&D tax credit programme is very technical and not something they would automatically assume we would be eligible for.

Talking with Richard at Jumpstart opened up avenues that we did not know existed for a company like ourselves and we agreed to engage their services. The subsequent application was submitted which culminated in a very successful result.”

“We had never heard of R&D Tax Credits until we were advised to talk to Jumpstart. This we did, and it soon became apparent that much of the work we were involved in was, in fact, R & D and fell into the HMRC Tax Credit Scheme.

At the time we needed to be totally focused on our business, having neither the time nor experience to complete the Claim, it was really fortunate we got Jumpstart to complete the claim. The outcome certainly helped us at ATS. We were making some big decisions and the injection of cash was a rapid way to ease the cash flow. When someone comes along and says that they can help you get cash back from HMRC, you think it must be too good to be true and that it certainly will not be easy. However, Jumpstart’s overall service was superb. The process was smooth and their expert Technical Analysts were thoroughly professional in their approach. The whole experience has been excellent and I would certainly recommend you give Jumpstart a call!”

“Jumpstart was recommended to us by a technology company that is also active in the Scottish semiconductor industry. Given the nature of our work, we felt that we would be eligible for the R&D tax credit programme but were puzzled as to why our accountant had never raised the issue with us before.

Working with Jumpstart, we soon realised why - the focus of the application is all about the technology that we’re developing, not the numbers. The analysts who worked with us were engineers who clearly explained the criteria for application and quickly understood what we’d been trying to achieve in our projects.

I’ve since been asked by my accountant if he can take over the R&D claim process and my answer was no - I just didn’t have the confidence that an accountant can do what Jumpstart has already done for us.”
