Other R&D claim companies all felt a bit shady, but Unique R&D team members are honest and upfront. Two valuable things we got from working with Unique R&D Services are the cost reclaim, but also the time we get back. These are 2 main factors with business, Money and Time. The process was great and we are looking forward to working together in the future.
From past experiences with the company directors, reliable, professional and helpful. We felt at ease knowing that the claim provided by Unique R&D would be correct and legitimate. Their attention to detail was excellent and transparent throughout. Good work!

Very professional and supportive service throughout. I first connected with Unique R&D through a Founders group, and what stood out was their willingness to listen and understand my situation. Unlike previous experiences with R&D firms, they took the time to offer tailored support right from the beginning. Throughout the process, the team was efficient, effective, and incredibly clear in their communication — I never had to chase anything. They followed up on our claim with HMRC, ensuring everything was on track, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. Even with the challenges of working with HMRC, the whole experience felt smooth and reliable. I felt supported every step of the way, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. We’ll definitely use their services again.

One of the most valuable parts of working with Unique R&D was discovering how much of our work qualified for relief, including areas we hadn’t even considered. That insight made a real difference, and the claim has already supported reinvestment back into the business. We were referred by a friend and found the whole process personal, clear, and highly professional. The team was extremely knowledgeable and responsive throughout, a genuine 10/10 experience. We’d confidently recommend Unique R&D to any business exploring a claim.

The promptness in receiving the claim outcome and the thorough attention to detail stood out. As this was my first R&D tax claim experience, your service significantly enhanced it.

We have worked with Unique R&D before and, after being told we couldn’t claim with another company, we approached them for help and advice. The service provided was exceptional—very quick, efficient, and seamless. The entire process was made simple, and our claim was successfully processed within the expected timeframe. The team demonstrated professionalism and expertise, exceeding our expectations in every way. Their support and knowledge made the R&D tax claim process effortless, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.
