R&D tax credit consultants Birmingham

Alexander Clifford is a reputable R&D tax credit consultancy servicing Birmingham in the West Midlands, servicing Coventry, Solihull & Wolverhampton, as well as The Black Country Boroughs such as Dudley, Sandwell & Walsall.

Leading the way in the Manufacturing industry, leading on Claim counts, Estimated relief values and Qualifying expenditure.

The West Midlands county is a major hub for R&D. Because the region was selected as a key UKRI Innovation Accelerator pilot and recently secured a £50 million Local Innovation Partnerships Fund deal, almost every single borough and town within the county has active, UKRI-funded business innovation.

A registered address may differ from where R&D takes place. Low claim numbers do not mean businesses failed to claim, and suppressed figures are never treated as zero.
