Our take
Even though governments allocate billions of dollars to support SMEs' R&D initiatives, the barriers to accessing them are currently very high. Claimer is a UK-based startup that aims to help SMEs get access to R&D tax credit.
The startup's tax and technology experts prepare clients' claims and handle all communication with HMRC on behalf of clients, with none of their claims being rejected so far. Claimer's vision is to become a company that connects businesses with opportunities provided by the government, and the service that simplifies claiming UK R&D tax credits is just their first initiative in this direction.
The startup has over 300 clients, counting unmind, Rentify, Rotaready and JustWears among them. The company is well funded by some of the top investors in Europe. They will be investing in hiring new talent and developing their software in order to be able to process more claims in the future.

Company values
- People first - Inspired by Amazon's 'customer obsession', but with a tweak: we believe a happy and productive team is equally important to happy customers.
- Relentless efficiency - As a technology startup that aims to scale to millions of users, it's really important that we stay efficient. Staying creative: doing more with less, challenge prevailing assumptions, and exhibiting a bias-to-action.
- Radical candour - After establishing a foundation of trust, we expect everyone in the team to not just give critical feedback, but to encourage receipt of it too. It's vital growth to personal growth, happiness, and ensures the best idea wins at all times.
- Self-improvement - We can always be better. Claimer believes the company's goals and your own goals should be closely aligned, and it's our job to help you get where you want to go.
- Inclusion - As we expand the team, we recognise the importance of diversity & inclusivity across many dimensions, allowing us to maximise our perspectives and make the absolute best product.
