Who we are

Founded in 2017, Kapitalise specialises in securing R&D tax relief for innovative UK businesses. With hundreds of successful claims and nearly £75 million saved for our clients, our team of specialists can help you identify qualifying expenditure and maximise your R&D claim.

We are also proud members of the Research and Development Communication Forum, an HMRC-sponsored forum that meets to discuss the operational delivery of R&D tax relief schemes in the UK.

With over 15 years of experience in the R&D field, we have successfully helped numerous companies achieve their innovation goals. Our client-centric approach ensures that we prioritise your needs and deliver tailored solutions to maximise your R&D claims.

We believe in building strong partnerships with accountants too, to ensure your client base qualifies for R&D claims. Our team collaborates closely with you, preparing every aspect of the claim process. Additionally, we offer white-labelling services, allowing you to seamlessly integrate our expertise under your brand.
