Capital Grants support investment projects and can be used to:
- Launch a new business
- Modernise, expand or re-organise an existing business
- Upgrade a business by introducing innovative new technology or processes
- Take a new product from development to production.
Tax Credits are a special form of support aimed at improving cashflow and utilisation of working capital. Tax Credits are a growth area with the possibility to claw back up to two years and thereafter to claim year-on-year. Let MCS undertake your filing process with HMRC.
