Overall, the R&D claim process went smoothly. The team was professional, responsive, and guided us through what was required at each stage. The communication was clear, and the process felt well managed from start to finish. We appreciated how they handled the technical aspects and kept things straightforward for us.
Working with Minerva Innovation Group has been a great experience. What sets them apart is their combination of deep expertise and genuine human approach. They are highly knowledgeable in their field while also being approachable and easy to work with. They care about achieving the best possible outcomes for their clients. Their commitment feels authentic rather than just good customer service, you can tell they're genuinely invested in their clients success.
I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for professionals who deliver both technical excellence and a personal touch.
From start to finish, Adam and the team made the R&D tax credit easy for me to understand. The team took the time to fully understand our business and help us to understand the activities that were eligible. Communication was excellent throughout,
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Minerva to any business looking to claim R&D tax credits. They are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success.
We recently worked with Adam Pearce and the Minerva Innovation team on our R&D tax relief submissions for two consecutive years (YE23 and YE24), and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the outset, Adam demonstrated deep technical knowledge and a strong grasp of both our sector and the complexities of HMRC’s R&D framework. He quickly understood the specifics of our marine and diving operations and took great care to ensure each claim was thoroughly evidenced and well-structured. Communication was always clear and timely, and the process was far smoother than we’ve experienced in the past.
Having now worked with Minerva across two R&D cycles, we have not only seen excellent outcomes but also a clear progression in the depth and accuracy of the claims, particularly as our subcontractor and material costs have grown. Their attention to detail and ability to adapt the claim to reflect our expanding innovation work was particularly valuable.
The most recent result saw our R&D-enhanced expenditure deliver a tax saving that reduced our Corporation Tax liability by approximately two-thirds, a significant and very welcome outcome.
What really stood out throughout both years was the sense that the Minerva team genuinely understood our business and were committed to achieving the best possible result, not just filing a claim.
I would be more than happy to recommend them to other companies in the diving, marine civils, or engineering sectors, whether they are new to R&D tax relief or looking to improve the value and rigour of their existing claims.

I have worked with Adam at Minerva for a number of years on mutual clients. Adam and the team are amazing at what they do, producing quality reports to support the R&D work.
Mine and my clients experience has always been positive and I would refer them to anyone looking into R&D reporting.

Great services from Minerva for our first R&D claim. We found the process straightforward and not onerous at all. We look forward to working with Minerva again on future claims.

Really happy with the professional service received from Minerva Innovation Group! Would definitely recommend!
Thanks again for your help

I was recommended by a friend to use Minerva and I was glad of the recommendation because I found them very easy to deal with and it did not take them long to understand how my business worked in respect of the R&D claim and also there was not too much paperwork involved.
I have only used one other company for my R&D claim so I do not have loads of experience with R&D claims but certainly Minerva was easier to deal with than the first company I used.

Great one to one professional advise and support. Very time efficient process, happy to have contact by email or late/early appointments if by phone. Successful claim and beneficial to the business. Can't recommend highly enough.

Minerva Innovation Group have helped us make a successful R&D claim in the private healthcare sector.
In particular, Adam helped us identify the specific case study to be submitted and advised us on the progress of the claim to a successful conclusion. Excellent advice and guidance though the entire process.

Adam is most helpful and informative and produced a wonderful report to successfully claim R and D grants for one of my clients. I had no hesitation then in recommending him and Minerva Innovation Group to other clientele. He subsequently produced high quality reports and submissions to HMRC for them also. There is minimum of fuss and admin from our side and maximum commumnication from him.

Without Minerva, we wouldn't have known about the government's scheme to promote R&D within smaller companies. Through Minerva we reclaimed a decent amount of money that will be useful for funding staff for our projects.
Adam was extremely helpful, and we were kept well updated throughout the process. We are grateful for their expertise in this area which made HMRC's complicated process much simpler.
