Helping Biotech Companies Overcome Financial Challenges & Drive Growth
The biotech industry operates in a high-cost, high-risk environment. With significant R&D expenses, long development cycles, and strict regulatory requirements, financial planning is crucial to success. At Plus Accounting, we work closely with biotech start-ups, scale-ups, and established firms, helping them navigate financial complexities, access funding, and optimise tax efficiencies.
Managing High R&D Costs & Maximising Tax Relief
The cost of innovation in biotech is substantial, with research, clinical trials, and regulatory compliance creating financial strain. R&D Tax Credits and Patent Box relief can offer substantial savings, reducing the cost of development and freeing up capital for reinvestment. We help biotech firms:
- Claim R&D Tax Credits – ensuring you receive the maximum benefit for qualifying innovation expenses.
- Optimise R&D Spend – structuring costs efficiently to maximise reliefs and improve cash flow.
- Plan for Patent Box Benefits – reducing corporation tax on qualifying intellectual property income.
Securing Sustainable Funding & Investment
For biotech companies, securing sustainable funding is critical—whether through venture capital, government grants, or strategic partnerships. We provide:
- Investor-Ready Financial Forecasts – helping attract funding with robust, investor-friendly financial plans.
- Grant & Funding Support – ensuring compliance with grant applications and maximising financial opportunities.
- Cash Flow & Budgeting Advice – structuring financial plans to manage cash flow during long development cycles.
Navigating Regulatory Compliance Costs
Compliance is an unavoidable expense in biotech, from clinical trials to regulatory approvals and manufacturing standards. Our specialist biotech accountants ensure you:
- Allocate Resources Efficiently – maintaining compliance without unnecessary financial strain.
- Streamline Reporting & Financial Oversight – ensuring accurate reporting for regulatory bodies.
- Plan for Growth – structuring your finances to scale efficiently while staying compliant.
