Irish BICs hosted a one-hour webinar with R+D Tax Solutions on Wednesday 9 September 2026, on how R&D tax credits can sit alongside PSSF, iHPSU and investor-readiness support.

What the session covered
Founders working with AxisBIC, Furthr, Propelor and WestBIC are often deep in product, market and investment conversations. R&D tax credits can be easy to park until later, and later is usually when the paperwork is hardest.
Alex walked through a practical hour on:
- What actually counts as R&D for a tax credit claim
- How credits can support cashflow on the way to investment
- What to document now so a claim is not a scramble later
- Where specialist advice sits alongside your local BIC
