If my project is unsuccessful, do I still qualify for innovation funding?

If you are working on a project to create a new process, product or service or improving an existing one, chances are you are carrying out R&D.  You will probably be trying to solve a problem where no solution is evident. Whatever your sector is, if your Company is trying to resolve technological uncertainties then you are probably carrying out R&D qualifying activity.  

Sometimes R&D is not successful, and it is important to remember that if your project is ultimately unsuccessful but tried to find a solution which was not evident at the outset, it could still be R&D and you could still qualify for innovation funding.

 Small to Medium Enterprises (SME) can claim up to 33p for every £1 spent on qualifying R&D activities. The average claim by SMEs in the UK is £60,000.  No matter what size your Company is, there is a claim if you are eligible.
