Scope of support
Company certifications each measure something different. Venture business confirmation looks at technology and commercial viability, Inno-Biz at technological innovation capability, and Main-Biz at management innovation capability. A corporate research institute or R&D department is recognised once it has the required research staff and a separate research space, and recognition connects to schemes such as the R&D expense tax credit. We start by judging which certification fits your current plan.

What to confirm first
Applicable requirements and supporting evidence vary with who is applying, the type of filing, and the current public notice. We therefore confirm the facts during the consultation, assess whether you meet the requirements as they stand today, and only then settle the document list. If you fall short, we tell you what to put in place first.
Review and process
The consultation confirms your objective and the facts. We then review the applicable requirements, the evidence to submit, and the sequence, and set them out for you. Where the requirements cannot be met right away, we present the available alternatives and the time each needs. Once you agree to proceed, we prepare and file on your behalf and keep you posted on progress.
- 01 Request: Provide contact details and the basic facts that need review.
- 02 Scope review: Confirm the objective, current status, materials, and prerequisites.
- 03 Engagement: Agree the work scope and responsibilities before engagement.
- 04 Progress: Receive updates for filing, follow-up requests, and results.
