UK Government Incentives & R&D Funding

The UK offers a highly competitive innovation funding regime. We assist growing companies in identifying, structuring, and claiming non-dilutive grant funding and statutory HMRC tax incentives to boost cash reserves.

  • Merged R&D Expenditure Credit (RDEC): A 20% taxable credit for qualifying research and development spend, providing significant cashflow support.
  • Enhanced R&D Intensive Support (ERIS): Higher relief rates tailored specifically for loss-making, R&D-intensive UK SMEs.
  • Innovate UK Smart Grants: Competitive non-dilutive grant co-funding for high-growth tech development and commercialisation projects.
  • Patent Box Relief: Reduced 10% Corporation Tax rate on commercial profits derived from UK/EPO patented innovations.

Wealth Governance

Family Investment Companies & Single Family Offices

Consolidate, protect, and transfer multi-generational wealth. The UK’s robust corporate framework allows high-net-worth families to utilize UK Family Investment Companies (FICs) and Family Offices for tax-efficient capital growth and inheritance planning.

Bespoke UK private limited companies structured with customized share classes (alphabet shares), allowing control to remain with parents while dividend rights and capital growth pass to future generations.

Dividend income received by a UK FIC from qualifying UK or overseas trading subsidiaries is generally exempt from UK Corporation Tax, enabling tax-neutral reinvestment.

Structured share gifting strategies combined with discretionary trusts to manage future Inheritance Tax exposures while retaining executive governance over family assets.
