Funding and Innovation support for the Aerospace and Defence sector

We can support your company throughout the entire lifecycle of an Innovation project, from IP Management and Grant Funding, to R&D Tax Relief and Patent Box.

Architecture & Building Industry Tax Relief

Many architecture firms undertake qualifying R&D activity on a daily basis but fail to take advantage of R&D Tax Relief.

Automotive & Logistics Industry Tax Relief

Opportunity for R&D tax relief in the automotive and logistics sectors has increased thanks to significant technological changes over the last few years.

Apparel & Textile Industry Tax Relief

The technical textiles sector has seen some of Britain’s most interesting innovations in the international arena and it is extremely important for it to be encouraged and rewarded through R&D tax incentives.

Electrical & Electronics Industry Tax Relief

Research and development is a key area for electronics companies. However, due to the nature of the sector, finding the eligibility for R&D tax incentives essential for funding future projects can be ambiguous. ABGI UK has helped secure substantial sums of R&D tax credit claims for many electronics clients.

Engineering Industry Tax Relief

We help hundreds of engineering and machining companies find the right innovation funding and incentive solution for their business.

Food, Drink & Agriculture Industry Tax Relief

Many in the farming and agriculture industry unknowingly engage in R&D activities on a daily basis that could qualify for a significant tax credit.

Life Sciences Industry Tax Relief

ABGI UK works with a host of biotechnology, life science, scientific services and consultancy companies, recovering substantial sums that can be used to fund future research and development projects.

Manufacturing Industry Tax Relief

ABGI-UK helps manufacturing companies navigate the complexities of applying for innovation funding, ensuring that businesses already benefitting maximise their entitlement, as well as enabling those encountering the process for the first time to achieve a smooth route through it.

Oil & Gas Industry Tax Relief

If you are a company where you have people and costs associated with project activities aimed at advancing what you do, then you could be eligible for funding in the form of grants, tax incentives or commercial funding.

Pharmaceutical & Chemical Industry Tax Relief

Pharmaceutical and Chemical companies are some of the traditional R&D companies, advancing science and technology on a regular basis. Did you realise that those issues you’re dealing with in the pilot plant relating to raw material variability, or unexpected results when scaling up formulations, could all be eligible for R&D tax incentives and innovation funding?

Software & IT Industry Tax Relief

Software and IT companies are engaged in constant efforts to improve their products. In order to drive business growth and meet the expectations of increasingly demanding customers they must take risks, experiment and innovate or face inevitable stagnation in a brutally competitive industry. In other words, they must carry out R&D. Many companies are benefiting from R&D tax relief on their software development expenses.

Waste & Recycling Industry Tax Relief

Waste management is an area of continuing innovation, particularly in response to an overall drive toward resource efficiency, and likely to be eligible for significant funding to accelerate future innovation and business growth.

Food, Drink & Agriculture Industry Tax Relief

Many in the farming and agriculture industry unknowingly engage in R&D activities on a daily basis that could qualify for a significant tax credit.

Many other areas of technology are also involved in Food and Drink and Agriculture, to the point where it is hard to find and area that does not have a direct impact on the food industry. R&D in this sector is generally driven by changes to legislation, consumer trends and specialist dietary requirements.

Examples of areas where qualifying R&D activities could exist:

Food & Drink R&D: You’re always working to improve the health and nutritional profile of food and drink products, often to meet new government legislation. You’re trying to recreate the taste, texture and mouthfeel of established foods without using allergens such as gluten, egg and milk, or to replicate the effects of small-scale, artisan processes on an industrial scale.
Agriculture: As a key developer in agricultural technology, you’re constantly developing new solutions to improve agricultural efficiency and overcome the limitations of existing agricultural equipment. Through the development and rigorous testing of prototype equipment in this harsh operational environment, you facilitate the development of agricultural practices with better productivity and yields and reduced inputs and environmental impact.
Areas of science of relevance to agriculture are chemistry, biology, meteorology and earth sciences such as geology and soil science.

“The accountancy route just didn’t work for us. ABGI’s technical approach made a huge difference to the value of our claim, they did the bulk of the work and required limited input from us.”
