Technology


To make the move from that brilliant concept to a marketable product takes support – the sort of practical business thinking that the Hazlewoods Technology team can provide.

With in-depth sector knowledge and experience, our aim is to help your business grow without stifling your creativity and innovation. Our approach is personal and proactive; our solutions are truly bespoke and designed to fit your business. So if you prefer to focus on ideas rather than finance, or if you need help with raising funds, dealing with the taxman etc, why not let Hazlewoods give you the support and advice you need.


  • R&D incentives – we can help you consider whether you qualify for valuable tax breaks or grants for your Research and Development expenditure, or reduced tax rates on profits from patented products.
  • Outsourced accounts – if you don’t want to spend your time keeping the books, but also don’t want to take on staff to do this for you, we have the solution – let our outsourcing team do it for you.
  • Strategic business planning – whether you intend to grow the business for sale, attract investors or possibly look to a flotation in due course, we can help you with your business plan and strategy to meet your medium- and long-term goals.
  • Raising finance – if you need funding to take the business forward or for growth, our specialists can help you find the right sources of funding and advise you on how to proceed.
  • Share option schemes – if you want to incentivise your key staff and ‘ideas people’ and keep them ‘on board’ in a tax efficient manner without using cash from the business, we can guide you through the various possibilities.

 

  • Accountancy and Audit.
  • Tax planning, including R&D tax incentives, share option schemes, fiscal share valuations, effective transaction structuring, reorganisations, transfer pricing and VAT. 
  • Raising finance, including access to funding and grant incentives.
  • Due diligence, including advice tailored to innovative ‘IP rich’ companies. 
  • Flotations, especially AIM and PLUS.
  • Mergers and Acquisitions.
  • Exit strategies, including grooming the business for sale.
