Questions to Consider

You may have a viable R&D claim if you can answer ‘Yes’ to any of these questions:

Do you employ any staff with a technical or scientific background?
Do you develop prototypes or samples?
Do you undertake or outsource any testing activities?
Have you aborted development due to overwhelming technical challenges or failures?
Do you have development that seeks to enhance any of these areas: performance, accuracy, scalability, security, throughput, quality, durability, integration?
Do you have difficulties developing legacy systems or components to operate in newer environments or with different requirements?
Are you further developing ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions to meet your own requirements?
