Testimonials

“After completing a simple screening process we were delighted to hear we were highly eligible and because Jumpstart work on a no-win-no-fee business model we were very happy to proceed. The process was expertly managed throughout and the varying intricacies of the R&D process were explained in great detail.

Thanks to the scientific background of Jumpstart’s analysts they were able to recognize projects that were eligible for R&D tax credits that were not immediately identifiable. These projects were routine for us and carried out in that manner. It was thanks to the depth and breadth of the technical analysts’ understanding of the R&D process, as well as their ability to look beyond the obvious that proved truly invaluable to us.

Jumpstart’s team eventually recovered a hugely important five-figure cash lump sum that we can now reinvest into new engineering and moulding projects.

We would highly recommend Jumpstart’s services to other foundries and moulding companies – you will be surprised how much R&D you carry out on a daily basis!”

“From the start, I felt comfortable with the approach Jumpstart made to us and found throughout the process that our correspondence and communication was handled very professionally. This gave us confidence in our decision to engage them. Their technical understanding was demonstrated more than adequately. We have very specialised technical people working here and it was clear that Jumpstart’s people strived to understand the complexity of our projects; it was a match of similarly minded people, and the Jumpstart Technical Analysts approached the complexities with the right rigor.

I would not have expected an external company to fully understand the structural complexities of our Group, so it was important when Jumpstart quickly got to grips with how each division interacted with one another. What was essential in the process was getting the key people from our side to talk to Jumpstart’s key technical people. This helped simplify things and allowed everyone to get focused on the core information that was required for the R&D claim process. The Technical Analysts were very open-minded and were able to laser in on the key issues that mattered.

Jumpstart delivered what they said they would; they brought to us their expertise of the legislation and their ability to set out an independent, comprehensive technical report for HMRC. I am confident and indeed anticipate that they will build on what’s been achieved in the future.”

“Jumpstart came recommended to P&R and I have already recommended them to others, such was the ease of the whole process. We have applied for loads of grants over the years and in some cases, the amount of time that it can take to fill in the paperwork and follow all the red tape is so much that you can sometimes wonder if it’s worth it. Jumpstart was different.

Everything was done for us by the Technical Analyst who was very switched on. He understood our business from the very first meeting. The whole thing was really easy and when, on a day to day basis, you are busy planning and running a factory, working with someone who clearly knew what he was doing was excellent. He fed back information and all we had to do was check it over. We were very happy with the results that Jumpstart achieved for us. ”

"Jumpstart immediately showed good technical understanding of our products and business and there was good communication between us from the start – it was easy & informal. We have absolutely no complaints! Their reliability and responsiveness was good and everyone I spoke or emailed with was friendly. Of course the best thing about working with Jumpstart is that they got money back for us that we would never have got round to applying for. Give it a try – no win, no lose! ”

" The most pleasant surprise when doing our R&D tax Credits with Jumpstart is the fact that their documentation is so easy to read and understand. I have to say I was skeptical at first but I have found the Technical Analyst very straight forward and informative and at no point did I feel lost as to our objective. Nothing was missed; every eligible activity was identified and I was really happy with the cash result. I have already recommended Jumpstart to other people. Their staff are a pleasure to deal with and the cash results at the end of the process is great for Shades Window Blinds. "

"The quality of the service given by Jumpstart was very good. The process was simple and the staff were pleasant, articulate and knowledgeable. Although we had heard from Jumpstart about what they could do, we were pleasantly surprised that they did exactly what was written on the tin, namely, guide us through the whole process and help us get money back from HMRC. I would recommend Jumpstart. If you think you have eligibility, it is well worth contacting Jumpstart and making a claim."

Established over a century ago, a UK-based equipment manufacturer decided to work with Jumpstart to make their R&D Tax Claim. The Company’s range of innovative offerings and solutions for a wide range of material handling applications ensured the research and development eligibility of such products was guaranteed to be significant.

Of working with Jumpstart their spokesperson said:

"The quality of the work Jumpstart did for us was very good. We wouldn’t have achieved the outcome we did without their help and their people were very patient as we worked on our claim. Communication between us was always good, as was the interaction with our auditor’s tax team. We were very pleased with the final outcome and it is clear that Jumpstart’s expertise added real value to the process."

"The whole process, as explained to us by the Business Analysts, went according to plan. Staff in Jumpstart were very helpful and we had good communication with them throughout the process. The Technical Analysts were obviously very competent which was great, as this meant they were very responsive to our needs and there were no delays. I would recommend Jumpstart to anyone thinking about making an R&D tax claim."

"It was a painless exercise working with Jumpstart on our claims. I thought it would take up a lot of my own time and that of my staff, however this was certainly not the case. I am delighted and so are my staff with the way Jumpstart conducted matters.

When I have an idea or something I want done, they usually think ‘how many meetings is this going to involve?’. Jumpstart take you by the hand and lead you through every process. I initially thought it was too good to be true but I am now looking forward to and excited about the next claim. It was not laboriously intensive and I would recommend Jumpstart to any company.”
