The Challenge
BoobyBiome, a start-up in microbiome science, approached Catalyst Solutions for support with their first R&D Tax Relief claim. During the initial call, it became clear that the claim would need to be submitted within a matter of weeks.
Why Catalyst Solutions
The client needed a team who could respond quickly and work closely with their internal experts to get everything ready on time. Catalyst Solutions offered the mix of technical and financial insight needed to move efficiently and accurately under pressure.
The Approach
Catalyst Solutions worked alongside the founding team to prepare technical narratives focused on the company’s applied science work, including advancements in microbiome symbiosis and the development of a new storage device designed to preserve microbiota diversity.
At the same time, our finance team managed the complexities of multiple R&D Tax schemes to help the client secure the funding they needed. The engagement also required coordination with the client’s tax agents to ensure the CT600 was correctly completed, avoiding unnecessary delays with HMRC.
Across two financial periods, Catalyst Solutions helped BoobyBiome access meaningful benefits, allowing them to continue their focus on improving infant health.
The Outcome
Catalyst Solutions helped BoobyBiome navigate a tight deadline, complex schemes, and technical documentation, turning urgency into clarity and unlocking vital funding for innovation.
“As a startup, getting the R&D Tax Credit right was important - but the complexity, overlapping schemes, and deadlines made it daunting. Catalyst Solutions guided us through it all with such clarity. Their support allowed us to benefit from the claim when it mattered the most.”
