Our vision · InnoFund UK
More value from
what comes next.
We believe more businesses should be able to turn ambitious ideas into lasting commercial value. Our purpose is to make innovation better understood, properly evidenced and more effectively funded and protected.

Innovation does not end with a claim
A tax benefit can fund
a much bigger ambition.
Developing something new takes time, investment and the willingness to work through uncertainty. The value of that effort should not be considered only once the project is finished or the accounts are due.
Our vision is to change how innovation is valued, rewarded and commercialised. That means helping businesses recognise the work they have already done, build better evidence as they go and plan for the opportunities ahead.
A longer view of innovation
Look back clearly.
Move forward deliberately.
01
Recognise the value already created
Understand the development work, investment and intellectual property within the business. Assess the relevant reliefs against the actual facts—not assumptions about what an innovative company should look like.
02
Make today’s work easier to evidence
Capture the decisions, tests, setbacks and costs while the people involved can explain them. Useful records support better decisions as well as a more coherent future claim.
03
Plan for what the innovation can become
Consider funding, protection and commercialisation together. A grant application, patent strategy or future Patent Box position should fit the business plan, not sit apart from it.
Our thinking, in practice
Make the evidence
part of the work.
SecuRD® grew from a practical problem: important technical knowledge can disappear between the project and the claim. The methodology helps teams retain evidence as the work happens, making it easier to explain what changed, what was uncertain and how the team responded.
Our IP consulting and InnoGuard work brings a complementary perspective: understand what the business has created, assess where protection may help and consider how that IP supports its commercial future.
The people behind InnoFund
A wider perspective starts with the team.
Our approach connects technical, scientific, financial and commercial experience. It is how we move from a single question to advice that considers the business around it.

What this means for your business
Ambition, supported
by sound judgement.
Not every project qualifies for relief. Not every invention needs a patent. Not every funding competition is a good use of your time. We believe identifying those boundaries is part of valuable advice.
We want clients to leave each engagement better equipped: clearer about their position, more confident in their evidence and able to make informed decisions about the next investment.
