Frequently Asked Questions
Can Guildford games studios claim both VGEC and R&D relief?
Yes, but not on the same costs. The two reliefs are mutually exclusive on identical expenditure, so the key is allocating development activity correctly so each part of a project claims the most valuable relief. We help studios structure claims that stay compliant and maximise value.
What R&D tax relief is available to Surrey tech companies?
Companies carrying out qualifying technology, engineering or software development can claim through the merged R&D scheme, and loss making R&D intensive SMEs may qualify for enhanced support. We assess eligibility, identify qualifying costs and prepare robust claims. Read our guide to R&D tax credits for software and games studios to see what qualifies.

Yes. We work with established and fast growing businesses, including companies preparing for investment, managing group structures or planning an exit. As you grow, our outsourced finance director and corporate finance teams give you senior support without the cost of a full time hire.
