We used Catalyst R&D at The Code Registry and they were extremely helpful in our first R&D claim. The team are friendly and happy to spend time answering questions and worked with us to make sure the claims sounded good, were accurate and grounded in real evidence. Will definitely use again.
We had a great experience working with Catalyst R&D. We were supported from every angle, including access to specialists in our field who were able to guide us through the process so we didn't waste time on avenues which were likely to be unsuccessful, yet supporting us to be successful in areas that they new were yield the best potential.
Catalyst took us the process of making a successful R+D claim following a series of complex projects. They were easy to work with, understood the technical nature of our business and provided guidance on what would qualify throughout. The team were professional and the case studies they prepared were well written making the overall process light touch and efficient.

Bringing Catalyst R&D onboard to support with our R&D incentive claims was very quick and easy. The team quickly grasped the advanced technologies we had developed for our energy efficient building control systems and translated these into clear, concise case studies. Catalyst’s service and attention to detail was excellent throughout the claim process.

We worked with Catalyst on our R&D claim and were really impressed by how quickly they understood the technical side of what we do. They got to grips with the detail around AI, custom software and complex data work, and helped us shape that into a clear and well-structured claim. The process was smooth, well organised and didn’t pull too much time from our team. The whole team were easy to work with throughout and we’d definitely recommend Catalyst to other tech businesses looking for R&D support.
Chris and the team at Catalyst R&D provide a very professional and pragmatic service and really understand what a valid R&D claim is all about in regards to the latest HMRC compliance guidelines. No high pressure to make a claim rather a considered approach in arriving at whether a claim is supportable or not.
