Startups in Coventry

Coventry has strengths in automotive, advanced manufacturing and gaming. The CW Growth Hub can help with local grants and advice, and our funding page explains how we help you get ready for a loan, a grant or investment.

What reliefs are Coventry's games and automotive businesses entitled to?

Coventry combines automotive engineering with games development, and the two use different reliefs. UK games studios can claim Video Games Expenditure Credit on qualifying core expenditure, but only where the game has a British cultural certificate from the BFI, so start the certification process early in development. Automotive and advanced-manufacturing businesses usually claim capital allowances on plant and tooling, with full expensing available to companies on qualifying new equipment, and R&D relief where the work resolves genuine technical uncertainty. Both depend on records kept while the work happens, which monthly bookkeeping provides.

Questions from startups in Coventry

Do you offer accountancy for startups in Coventry?

Yes. We act for startups across Coventry and the West Midlands, working online by video call, WhatsApp and email.

Can a Coventry games studio claim Video Games Expenditure Credit?

Yes, where the game is intended for supply, meets the qualifying core expenditure conditions and holds a British cultural certificate from the BFI. Certification takes time, so start it during development. We work out which costs count as core expenditure before the claim is made.

Do I need a Coventry-based accountant?

No. Bookkeeping, tax returns, filing and advice can all be handled online, so your accountant does not need to be in the same city.

How much do you charge?

Accounting and tax is a fixed monthly fee from £49 a month + VAT, set by your turnover and agreed in writing before we start. Payroll is charged separately.
