Makes you think very hard about the R&D process.
The platform is excellent although challenging, they really make you think and it’s well structured. But the real value of working with Empowered is the team and how helpful they are.
Highly recommended.
Loved it!
Loved the platform and customer service. Transparent and very easy to use.
Brilliant service, efficient and affordable!
Brilliant service, easy, efficient and affordable! We were recommended EmpowerRD by another small business as their rates are a lot more competitive than any other companies in the industry, who often charge 3 to 4 times more. The team provided an excellent service, tailored to our requirements, personalised, attentive, and patient. We would definitely recommend their service for claims of any size, their platform and process are simple and self-explanatory, we found the examples in the application very useful to get an idea of the content expected in the application.

Takes the stress out of completing your R&D claim
We found EmpowerRD a brilliant product to use which not only saved us some serious fees compared with using a 'specialist' accountant but also kept the timeline for completion in our hands.
The product walks you through step-by-step the various aspects of the claim that needs to be completed with helpful guidance. We could add various members of our engineering and product teams to add specific detail on the R&D we carried out giving a better overview than our previous narratives.
Very happy to recommend EmpowerRD and we'll be using it for our claim next year!
Very straightforward
Very straightforward, quick and cheaper than other out there. No brainer.
Professional and efficient
It was our first time applying for the R&D tax claim. It was really stressful but EmpowerRD made the whole process really smooth.
We would not have been able to manage the application without EmpowerRD. Their software application is really convenient and helps you go through all the different steps of the process.
They have a perfect understanding of what is required, they are really professional, responsive and careful.
I highly recommend!

Very helpful
It was our first time applying for the R&D grant. EmpowerRD made the whole process very easy. They are very professional.
Would recommend EmpowerRD unhesitatingly
R&D tax relief is a complex subject. EmpowerRD brought 3 things to the table:
1. A deep understanding of HMRC's requirements and processes. EmpowerRD's expertise helped us maximise our claim whilst ensuring we only claimed for legitimate expenses.
2. A user-friendly platform. The EmpowerRD platform is simple to use and user friendly, making it easy to collate the required information
3. A helpful and friendly approach. We worked with several members of the EmpowerRD team; and they were all professional, responsive, and friendly. Really easy to work with.
In short, I would recommend EmpowerRD unhesitatingly
Great at explaining the process
Once the right numbers were collated, the claim was ready to go, and I was surprised how little I needed to do myself.
Easy to use
Easy to use, quick turnaround, knowledgeable and helpful team. Much cheaper than other options
R&D Tax Relief - made affordable and simple
We are so fortunate to have been recommended EmpowerRD. Hari and the team have provided us with a professional, streamlined, highly affordable, service - for completing our very first R&D tax relief claim.
We were previously baffled by the process but now feel confident and capable to self-manage our R&D tax relief claims thanks to the EmpowerRD platform and excellent customer support.
We look forward to completing our future claims with you.
EmpowerRD - Happy to Recommend
The team at EmpowerRD were both diligent and efficient in their preparation of our R&D submissions. Additionally, they are commercially very competitive.
We have worked with Hari and the team for two years and look forward to continued cooperation with EmpowerRD. We are happy to recommend them.
