Questions & answers

Access to our training is usually immediate when you sign up. Occasionally we may need to manually finalise your accounts on our training platform, in which case you might be delayed by an hour or two, or until the next working day. If that’s the case, we’ll email you to let you know that everything’s in place and ready to go.

Access to our Helpline and Claim Support services is dependent on you completing our Anti-Money Laundering checks. If you have urgent support needs, we can work with you to complete these on the same day that you register, so we can begin your support immediately.

Yes, you can purchase three of our courses without a membership. Head to the course catalogue to see what’s on offer.

Yes! You can take our free training course An Advisor’s Essential Guide to the Merged R&D Scheme to experience our training for yourself.

You can also watch our free demo video to get an overview of everything included inside membership of The R&D Community.

Finally, we also make our Claim Support services available to non-members. Membership will get you priority access and an hourly rate of £195+VAT. If you want to get support without a membership, we charge £250+VAT per hour. Learn more about Claim Support.

When you sign up, we’ll invite you to an onboarding call with our team. During the call we’ll demonstrate the platform to you, and explain all the key benefits of membership and how to access them. If you need help with a specific task or R&D claim, you can let us know what you need during this call.

If you don’t have access to a company credit/debit card, we can invoice you each month instead. Our invoices include links to GoCardless, which allows you to set up a convenient Direct Debit from your bank account. Your membership will start as soon as payment is received for your first invoice.

To arrange this, please use the Live Chat or get in touch to let us know that you’d like to sign up and pay by monthly invoice. We will then get in touch to ask for the information required to set up your account.

When you sign up you and any other users in your membership will be sent log in details for our training academy.

We’ll also email you to invite you to an onboarding call with your team, and to invite you to complete our Anti-Money Laundering checks. Once you have completed the AML checks you can then access our Helpline and Claim Support services.

If you’re interested in becoming an Enterprise member of The R&D Community, feel free to reach out to us and we can discuss your bespoke training requirements. We may be able to design video-based training courses that are tailored to your specific needs.

We can also offer some Advanced Workshops to members who are interested in additional training on specific topics.

Your subscription is based on a rolling 30-day contract. This means after the initial 3-month period, you can give notice and we’ll end your membership 30 days later.

If you’re looking for short-term support with an R&D claim or enquiry, feel free to get in touch. If our Claim Support service has capacity we are able to offer support to non-members.

Our Philosophy

Raising standards in R&D tax relief

We’ve had enough of the good guys being the underdogs of R&D tax relief. When advisors take standards and ethics seriously, that should be a compelling selling point, not a disadvantage!

Our philosophy is to share our knowledge and help as many compliance-minded R&D advisors as possible. The more knowledge we share with you, our members, the harder it is for R&D cowboys to win business at your or your clients’ expense.

Like you, we want to see higher standards in the R&D market. That means more transparency, accountability and training – and ultimately regulation.

How much could you earn?

When you train up your team and get the support you need, you'll have the skills and capacity to take on more R&D claims clients. Use the calculator here to estimate the return on your investment.

How many new R&D clients could you take on per year?

What’s the average fee per R&D claim across your current clients?

How many staff are in your R&D team?

This calculation is indicative – the actual ROI will depend on individual factors outwith our control.
