What are R&D Tax Credits?

R&D Tax Credits is a Corporation Tax relief scheme operated by HMRC that may reduce your company’s tax bill or, in some circumstances, you may receive a payable tax credit.

How do I know if my business is eligible?

If your team is innovating, like coming up with new technical ideas to solve problems, create sales, increase sales or reduce costs then it's likely you're eligible to make a claim & you should be talking to us!

Why do I need DBBS?

Our customers prefer to keep their talent and focus on more innovating, and business advancement. We own the claims process for you, taking minimal time from your team in collecting key information for the claim. We also integrate seamlessly with your internal or external accountancy team in the claim completion so we're all moving as one.

Who are DBBS?

DB Business Solutions was founded in 2018 by me, David Black. I've been a Chartered Mechanical Engineer since 1999, working in a variety of senior leadership positions in research, engineering and manufacturing businesses. I've been completing R&D Tax Credit Claims in leading engineering and manufacturing firms since 2010. As a business leader at the "client" side of the relationship I was frustrated with the amount of legwork I and my teams had to do when preparing claims, even when working with R&D tax credit agents. I set up DBBS to deliver the service I wished I could have had as a client - a company that owned the process & kept the amount of legwork I & my teams had to do to a minimum. I wanted my teams to stay focussed on "the day job" to drive the business forward. I want your teams to be able to do the same.

What are the costs?

DBBS receive a small percentage of your successful claim, so we benefit ONLY if your claim is successful and you only pay when the benefit is delivered, either as a reduction in your Corporation Tax liability or as a payment directly to you by HMRC.

Where do I start?

If you think your business could be eligible for R&D Tax Credits, or if you're not sure, get in touch for a no obligation discussion - we're here to help. Complete our "Contact Us" form & we'll take it from there - look forward to hearing from you!

All the best! DB
