Tax credit specialists strike deal with RTC North

Tax credit specialist Jumpstart has signed a potentially lucrative partnership deal with the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA) and RTC North.

The three-year deal means RTC North, with bases in the North East, North West and Yorkshire, will push Jumpstart’s expertise in securing tax credits to businesses across the North.

As a ‘preferred partner’ with the IFA, the brand will also reach over 6,000 members in more than 80 countries.

RTC North specialise in product innovation, market research, technology transfer, commercialisation and business growth.

Both deals will help to fuel Jumpstart’s turnover of £3.3m and bolster its credentials as a product for innovating businesses.

Brian Williamson, managing director of Jumpstart (Scotland) Ltd, said: “These are very meaningful developments in our company’s mid-to-long-term growth strategy.

“They will come to be seen as particularly important milestones as we expand into the UK and internationally. The IFA and RTC North partnerships will take our expansion plans to a whole new level.”

The partnership deals build on Jumpstart’s existing connections within the accountancy profession, which have seen it signed up with Peak Performance, one of the UK’s fastest-growing accountancy and taxation advisory networks, to provide its members with high-quality guidance on R&D tax credits.

Members of Peak Performance Accountants comprise more than 450 of the country’s business advisory firms who in turn offer their services to a huge range of the UK’s SMEs.
