Tax relief consultancy partners up with IP firm
Tax relief consultancy Catax has announced its partnership with specialist intellectual property firm Keltie LLP.
Catax, which assists businesses with the process of claiming tax relief, is headquartered in Manchester and has additional offices in London, the Channel Islands and Edinburgh, as well as its newest opening in Glasgow. London-based Keltie, which also has offices across the UK and Ireland, specialises in advising its clients on a wide range of IP matters. As part of the new partnership, Keltie will introduce its clients, particularly small and medium sized enterprises and start-ups, to Catax, which will in return refer clients looking for IP advice to Keltie.
CEO of Catax, Mark Tighe, said: ‘This strategic cooperation is great news for both Catax and Keltie as we look to assist firms of all sizes as they navigate the complicated processes of R&D [research and development] and patents.
‘Our two companies share a vision to encourage innovation here in the UK, which in turn, keeps Britain competitive and relevant. We hope that by working together, we can help more businesses realise the value of innovation.’
Keltie partner Dr Shakeel Ahmad added: ‘The number one issue for start-up businesses is funding. For growing companies, managing cash flow can be a critical factor of success. Guiding these UK businesses to cash, which is available from government at an early stage, is really important in helping these companies not only survive but also grow. Whilst Brexit has caused some business uncertainty, encouraging UK businesses to utilise the help that is available will build greater business confidence. It makes perfect sense to work with Catax as they can add a tremendous amount of value for our clients.’
