Do any of the following apply to you:
Have you taken on a project of which required trial and experimentation?
Solved a complex technical problem/problems?
Are you trying to improve your products, processes or services
Do you make prototypes?
If one or more of the above applies, you should attend this 1½ hour workshop to find out what qualifies and how much you could potentially receive.
It is estimated that fewer than 25% of eligible businesses are making full use of the various financial incentives that are available to them. The Growth Hub and Fiscale are working together to make sure that business owners are not only aware of these schemes but how they can access them.
The reason why this figure is so low is that businesses often don’t realise that there are these incentives in place for them and often rule themselves out because they don’t think that they would qualify. Are you one of them?
The latest report from HMRC show the average amount that companies received back, by a selection of industries, is as follows:
Industry – Average Amount Agriculture – £44,776
Chemicals – £72,260
Construction – £50,279
Engineering – £71,648
Food & Drink – £23,809
Manufacturing – £46,970
Scientific & Technical – £72,260
Telecoms – £57,197
Transportation & Storage – £46,875
Sewage & Waste – £40,816
*HMRC Press Office October 2019
The above table shows the average amount received by businesses, based on expenditure incurred on:
Developing products
Modifying processes
Improving services
Adapting to customer/market requirements
Time spent problem-solving and brainstorming new ideas
Why Now? This workshop is especially relevant for businesses approaching their year-end, as you’re able to claim back the previous two accounting periods. So, therefore, do not miss out on a full years claim by not acting now.

EACH Charity Golf Day In Memory of Stanley McLean, sponsored by MCB Financial Services Ltd
Stanley was born on 2 January, 2011. He had a heart condition called tetraology of fallots, further complicated by a missing pulmonary valve. He underwent surgery at eight days old and again at five months. Further surgery followed in July 2012 after a routine check showed the conduit in his heart was narrowing. Complications occurred during surgery and sadly Stanley died, aged 18 months-old.
His parents, Brad and Debbie McLean, from Wymondham, received bereavement counselling from EACH and have since become stalwart fundraisers for both the regional charity and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) – where Stanley spent months of his life.
Brad has been an EACH Trustee since 2016. He said: “Having used the services of EACH and now being involved as an EACH Trustee, I understand first-hand the amazing work they do. We can think of no better way to remember our little boy than to give just a small amount back to a place that helped us during our most difficult time and continues every day to do the same for so many families in East Anglia.”
East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) provides care for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across East Anglia and supports their families. The pressure of the pandemic means our vital services are more important than ever and we continue to offer our outstanding care giving a life-line to families at an unimaginably difficult time.

This SundayLP Partner Jonathon Chaddand a family team of 5 others will be running the Bungay Black Dog half marathon to raise money for the East Coast Hospice. This charitable trust has secured land at Gorleston to build a 10 bed hospice which is now moving forward to the planning consent stage. This is a very worthwhile charity and I hope you will feel able to give it your support. In addition to inpatient end of life provision the Hospice will provide facilities for families to stay with patients and specialist palliative day care, alternative therapies, outreach homecare and educational training for those involved in the nursing profession.
We are aiming to get the whole team of runners to complete the circular course of 13 miles from Bungay to Beccles and back in an average of under 2 hrs and I hope that your support will motivate us to achieve that.
