Claimer founder Adam McCann found that submitting tax relief claims in the R&D sector was a nightmare, and so Claimer was born. The fintech platform makes it 10 times quicker and considerably cheaper for businesses to claim their tax returns. In fact, Claimer’s big claim is that businesses can save an average of £8,096 on fees.

So, how does it work? Businesses are required to enter their relevant financials, or the system can automatically pull their figures directly from their accountancy software. Then, the Claimer team checks and enhances the claim and submits it to HMRC.

Rather than charging 20% or 30% of the total amount saved, Claimer charges just 5% capped at £10,000. This, in addition to its 100% success rate, has earned Claimer a coveted five star TrustPilot rating.

Popular with SMEs and startups, Claimer has processed claims as small as £1,000 and as large as £2m, and it’s finding that more and more businesses are choosing to use its platform.

Since being founded in 2018, Claimer has grown to a team of six. A combination of tax specialists and developers, Claimer is committed to using and improving technology to help bring filing tax claims into the future.
