4 Common Challenges
1
Lack of Time
Daily business operations leave little time to deal with lengthy and complex funding applications. Since the chances of success are often perceived as low, companies tend to avoid seeking any advice at all.
2
Lack of Clarity
From the outside, it's nearly impossible to understand where the complex requirements and pitfalls of R&D Tax Credits lie. As a result, many companies avoid dealing with what they perceive as a “bureaucratic monster.” The general attitude toward the topic is therefore rather negative and skeptical.
3
No Trust in Available Consulting Services
Even though many consultants reach out regarding the topic, there’s often a lack of trust and openness to engage with them. Consulting offers frequently appear non-transparent and unprofessional.
4
Overestimating Internal Capabilities
Many believe they can handle the R&D Tax Credit application and process entirely on their own. However, this often underestimates the significant internal coordination and structuring efforts required. In daily operations, this leads to research and development funding being approached half-heartedly.
Did any of these 4 points sound familiar?
Don't worry – most technology and industrial companies feel the same way.
The good news: There's a solution.
Your Path to Fast, Successful, and Comprehensive R&D Funding Through the R&D Tax Credit
Would you like to quickly secure R&D Tax Credits for your completed, ongoing, and future innovation projects — and sustainably strengthen your competitiveness for the long term?
And do you want the funding process to be as effortless as possible, with a fair and transparent fee structure?
We’re here to help you achieve exactly that — and take a big step toward an innovative future.
How Our Collaboration Works
Analysis
In an initial consultation, we take a close look at your innovation projects and first assess whether they qualify for R&D Tax Credits. We then identify the eligible project costs and show you the realistic funding potential you can expect.
From the outset, a structured approach is essential — ensuring clear communication and coordination among all internal stakeholders and departments, while always keeping current requirements from funding authorities and government bodies in mind.
Funding Application
Once everything is clarified and collaboration makes sense, we prepare the complete application documents, which include both technical and financial content.
We closely support you during submission to the relevant funding authority and handle all follow-up questions during the review process in coordination with you. Once the procedure is complete, you will receive your official funding approval.
Implementation
Once the official funding approval is received, we ensure that the R&D Tax Credit is applied at the appropriate times to deliver its full financial impact. At the same time, we handle all reporting obligations toward the funding authority and keep you informed at all times through regular updates.
You can feel confident at every step — because we stand by your side with experience and empathy. And of course, our fee is only due if the funding is successful.
Ongoing Support
If relevant changes arise during the course of the project — such as adjustments in cost or project duration — we take care of submitting the necessary amendments. We also support you in creating the required project documentation and evidence.
That way, you can face any potential audit with peace of mind. We remain at your side until the complete file is officially closed — fully and without any objections from the authorities.

Ergebnisse aus der Zusammenarbeit:
Statt des althergebrachten Laufbandes sollte mit dem modernen Rehawalk System eine ganz neue Ära eingeleitet werden. Während der Patient sich über einen Bildschirm mitten in einem Wanderszenario mit diversen Aufgaben befindet, werden digital alle nötigen Informationen und Werte zu seinem Laufstil und seiner körperlichen Belastung erfasst.
Nur in Zusammenarbeit mit führenden Fakultäten und Spezialfirmen diverser Bereiche konnte dies erreicht werden. Sichergestellt wurde der Erfolg aber auch entscheidend durch die finanziellen Förderungen des Bundeswirtschaftsministeriums, die ohne die Hilfe der Spitzmüller AG nicht so problemlos möglich gewesen wären.
