Our client is a technically specialised and niche group of companies, involved in developing innovations in medical research and diagnostics within the healthcare sector.

Our Challenge

This group of six separate and individually managed businesses needed financial expertise and advanced accountancy support. Each company was highly reliant on research grants, development funding, and a mixture of private and public investment. Although UK-owned and based, the group has investment connections with China-based partners.

What Kaizen did

We brought the combined expertise of the management teams together as part of our strategy for moving the business forwards and then provided them with the consultancy and advice they were looking for. Each business was made up of sector specialists, clinicians and scientists, as well as business directors, and we provided these groups with detailed but practical business strategy and financial guidance. This covered everything from negotiating complex arrangements for re-claiming R&D tax credits across the various projects within the group of companies, to advising on a new share issue involving Chinese investment partners and shareholders. The Kaizen team provided practical advice and support, actually managing specialised areas such as import taxation and audit certificates. We also secured vital sources of grant financing in business areas where it was available and needed.
