Talk to us

We fuel our passion for gaming by surrounding ourselves with people that make them so we find out what they know and we can pass on what you need to know.

Based in London and in the ancestral heart of the UK Gaming scene, known as the ‘Hollywood of gaming’ Guildford we are in the right place to be the first to hear about developments that could affect you.

As a developer you don’t want to waste time on questions such as ‘should I use a flat-rate VAT scheme?’ or ‘how do I claim R&D tax credits?’ You need your accountant to advise you, yes we know about VAT, accounts, payroll and all that stuff, but we also know about how to deal with payments from Apple for app sales. If it’s important to you the world of games it’s important to us.

We’ve worked with entrepreneurial companies in the gaming world, so we know what it takes to grow, what it takes to continue growing and what it takes to maximise the value of your hard work. To put it simply – we’ll take away the hassle of running a business so you can get back to developing the next big thing.

We’re here to support you at every stage.

Early stage

Setting up an entity and making sure it’s fit for purpose is the starting point.

Getting the right structure for your business is extremely important, as is knowing if or when to issue shares to attract investors. We’ll also make sure you have a Shareholders Agreement in place so all parties are protected whatever happens.

We can help you utilise dedicated government schemes to get your enterprise off to the best start. The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) can help make it easier for you to secure investment.

Growth

VAT applications; PAYE schemes; payroll; P11d; Human Resource management; Tax advice; Audit services – we can help you with the running of a company

Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits and the Video Games Tax Relief schemes are under utilised by many companies who don’t know how to claim. We have claimed thousands of pounds in R&D credits for our clients and we can help you claim what you are entitled to.

While developing you may need to register patents to protect your work. Thanks to the UK Patent Box scheme you are now able to pay less Corporation Tax on all income generated by these patented innovations –Our experienced specialists can help you with this.

Future plans
